Plaquemines Parish festival celebrates orange growers' defeat of pest threats
~The festival is at the peak of navel orange season, said festival manager Dale Benoit, adding that this year's crops, which include 35 varieties, are doing well. But a gaping hole remains in the industry as many farmers in the southern part of the parish haven't come back from Hurricane Katrina.
The event, which features ferris wheel rides, fruit and oysters on the half shell, runs today from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m until 6 p.m. at the Medal of Honor Park, 12 Barriere Road, off Louisiana 23. ~Festival Schedule.
