It's becoming a tradition for the Abbeville High School Art Department to paint the windows at Edward Jones financial advisor, John Suire's office located on North State Street in Abbeville.
Taking part in the project were Abbeville High School Art 4 students Sarah Abshire, Alexis Bergeron, and art teacher Elayna Hidalgo.

For John Andrus, the highlight of the day is when his grandchildren say, “Pop, let’s go check the cows.”
Andrus has made an incredible career of checking on the cows. Andrus received some recognition for that work as the Rotary Club of Abbeville honored Andrus as its 2018 Farmer of the Year.
Rotarians presented Andrus with his award during their weekly meeting on Wednesday.
“It was a big surprise,” Andrus said after the meeting. “It was very unexpected.”
Maybe to him, but not to those who see Andrus as a pillar of the Vermilion Parish cattle industry.

Twelve juvenile whooping cranes were received Monday (Nov. 19) at Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge near Grand Chenier. It will bring the Louisiana wild population to 75 once the new arrivals are released.
