❤️🏈 Have a safe and happy homecoming ❤️

Homecoming is a time to celebrate, make memories, enjoy time with friends, and show your school spirit! But remember, the most important part of the night is making it home safely.

As we wrap up another fun-filled festival season with the Tangipahoa Parish Fair, we’re raising a glass—a mocktail glass, that is!

The Tangipahoa Parish Fair is sharing the Cowboy KoolAid, a delicious, family-friendly, non-alcoholic mocktail that’s perfect for celebrating all the fun, food, traditions and memories that make our local festivals so special.

And making it even more festive, we have one of last year’s Fair royalty serving as our guest mixologist!

Here’s to great festivals, great traditions and great times in Tangipahoa Parish. Cheers!

Happy Labor Day, Tangi!

Even though our office is closed today, we still wanted to remind everyone that being impaired behind the wheel of any vehicle (car, boat, jet ski, off-roading vehicle, etc) is dangerous for you, and everyone around you. We want you to get home safely!

If you plan to drink/use something that will impair you, plan to have a sober driver. That decision might save your life, or the lives of others.

Celebrate Labor Day weekend the best way: safely!

Driving after drinking or using drugs not only hurts you, but everyone around you (and can cost you a ton of $$$). This also applies to being on the water, boating while impaired is never a good choice to make!

If you plan to drink or use any impairing substance, make sure you have a plan in place beforehand.
📍 Have a 100% sober driver lined up ahead of time.
📍 Call a friend or family member (who is 100% sober)
📍 Stay the night where you are (if at a friend/family member's home)
📍 Utilize rideshare (which can be found here in Tangi!)

Be safe this weekend, and remember to always be sober behind the wheel!
