Breaux Bridge – The Beaux Bridge Area Chamber of Commerce is honoring three men and one woman with family-owned businesses during the organization’s annual “Evening Extraordinaire,” the membership banquet and change-of-command, to be held at Pat’s Atchafalaya Club in Henderson Thursday, Jan. 21, with the social hour starting at 5:45 p.m.

The town council here voted to call a special election to approve the rededication of sales tax revenues.
At its Monday Jan. 11 meeting, the council scheduled a public vote for April 9. Mayor Sherbin Collette said that the measure, which will not change tax rates, will save residents from sewer bill rate hikes.

Residents of the Atchafalaya Basin were breathing a collective sigh of relief on Monday. According to the latest information, the Morganza Spillway will not have to open for the current high-water event in the Mississippi River.
