For at least today (Sept. 29), Avoyelles Parish can be justified in borrowing Old Milwaukee beer's slogan, "It doesn't get any better than this."
Avoyelles had what could probably be described as a "normal" update when the state Health Department reported the COVID figures for Friday.
An initial meeting to start a campaign for Bunkie voters to recall Mayor Bruce Coulon and Police Chief Scotty Ferguson will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
