Tallulah's 2025 bear festival listed a courthouse-lawn gathering

Teddy's Bear Fest was listed for October 11, 2025, on the courthouse lawn in Tallulah, providing Richmond residents with a nearby Madison Parish outing. The dated listing advertised a 9 a.m.–7 p.m. event, creating a long window for visitors to spend time in the parish seat.

The regional tourism calendar describes the festival's established mix of crafts, food vendors, music and children's activities. For sellers serving chilled ingredients, portable cold storage can be considered within their stall preparations. That format connects a local heritage celebration with the practical details of feeding and entertaining people through a full day outdoors.

Temporary Signals Managed US 80 Crossing East of Delhi

The US 80 Bayou Macon bridge was operating with one lane and temporary traffic signals in DOTD's October 2024 update. The crossing, about one mile east of Delhi, had reopened to this limited arrangement after interim repairs in May 2023.
