‘Welcome to Gueydan’
On Thursday, Feb. 6, the Gueydan Chamber of Commerce Holiday Decorating Committee proudly unveiled a new community landmark: an oversized “Welcome to Gueydan Chair.”
Cheyenne Guidry, one of the committee members, said this vibrant addition to the community, now proudly displayed at the Museum and Cultural Arts Society grounds thanks to its members, serves as a welcoming landmark for locals and visitors passing through the town. The chair was built by Ryan LaComb, painted by Dotty Lacomb, Kendra LaComb and Emily LaComb, and Cheyenne Guidry did the artwork.
