Heart of Louisiana: Hop on the Bogue Chitto horse trails By FOX 8 Staff | February 23, 2021 at 7:56 PM CST - Updated February 23 at 10:10 PM
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - If you’ve ever thought about getting on the back of a horse and going on a trail ride through the wilderness, Louisiana’s Bogue Chitto State Park makes it easy to do.
Bogue Chitto State Park near Franklinton, Louisiana, offers 14 miles of equestrian trails that take riders from forested hillsides down to river lowlands. It’s a leisurely way to tour the backwoods of this beautiful park which attracts campers, hikers, mountain bikers, and people who enjoy floating on a tube down the Bogue Chitto River.
TINY Ava is a prize fighter. Born 16 weeks premature and weighing not much more than a bag of sugar - she underwent ten blood transfusions in Bradford and beat the odds to become a little miracle. She spent four months in hospital, endured laser eye treatment, and several bouts of CPR after her breathing stopped - but is fighting fit and home with her loving family now. Mum Colby Doughty said: It has been very scary. We were told to expect the worse but she has come through this fighting and is still here. It has been overwhelming. If is wasn t for all the doctors and nurses she wouldn t be here today. We cannot thank them enough.

“Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace.” Martin Luther King Jr.

25th Annual MLK celebration presents a line-up of exciting, virtual events generously sponsored by Citizens™.
Alongside new and longstanding community partners, the Peabody is marking this anniversary with a focus on pressing issues of racial and environmental justice while also honoring the legacies of Dr. King and the visionary local leaders who have stewarded this event for a quarter of a century.
The Peabody joins the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, New Haven Museum, Students for Educational Justice, and the Yale Schwarzman Center to offer a slate of programs that testify to the art of storytelling as a form of resistance, the importance of remembrance, and the liberating power of imagining new futures together.
