This yearâs festival is being organized by the Greater Beauregard Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with FOX 29 SWLA ABC. Previous festivals were organized by the Beauregard Parish Tourist Commission.

âThe Beauregard Parish Tourist Commission hosted it 14 years. We are honored that they chose us to carry the torch to continue the festival, which is part of the Louisiana Association of Fairs and Festivals,â said Lisa Adams, Chamber director.

The festival has deep roots in Beauregard Parish, where watermelons are legendary. The âSugartown Watermelonâ has been a celebrated fruit for decades. The first watermelon festival is believed to have been held in Sugartown in the 1950s or 1960s.
A sweeping new produce stand in the Lebanon Farmer s Market is offering everything from fresh spinach and locally grown heirloom tomatoes to chocolate milk and drinkable yogurt.
Red Barn Produce, which opened at the beginning of April, is one of at least two new vendors arriving at the market. A meat vendor from Lancaster County is also set to arrive in a month or so. This as yet unnamed stand will be close to the alley entrance around the corner to African Paradise and is set to be fairly large, according to an email from Joya Morrissey, owner and manager of the market.

An impressive farm complex is currently for sale in Warwickshire, and it makes a strong case for being a Dream Home property.
Parkers Barn Farm is a historic farm conversion, dating back to 1858, and has been re-imagined as a contemporary home.
Red Barn Farm is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a fully operational, rural residential business. The business currently comprises two luxury holiday cottages, one short-term residential letting, and two further homes that are presently being used as the owners family accommodation. All the properties have holiday-let potential and are located in a popular and desirable area in the Lakes, renowned for tourism and staycations. Recent consultations with leading holiday letting businesses have indicated that the potential income of the holiday homes is circa £100,000 per annum. The farm is ideal as a live/work opportunity. The surrounding properties form a horseshoe around a shared courtyard and sit in grounds of two acres which have a selection of barns and outbuildings.
