Louisiana Events for ‘Kids to Parks’ Day Saturday

Louisiana is a great place to be celebrating the national 'Kids to Parks Day' on Saturday, May 18. Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser has released a statement about the annual event : 'This is a day to learn about our natural resources, our state's history, and about all of those things that make Louisiana a wonderful place to live. Our state parks and historic sites do a wonderful job of preserving our natural and cultural heritage, for the generations of tomorrow.'
