    The fourth annual Community History Festival will be held at the Pride-Chaneyville Branch Library, 13600 Pride-Port Hudson Road, on Saturday, October 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The Louisiana Country Store is the theme of this year’s festival. 
    Country stores were found in many Louisiana communities and were social gathering places from the late 1800s through the 1940s. Special events will include mini-omelets prepared by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture Poultry and Egg Division, a Louisiana foods cooking and tasting demonstration provided by Louisiana Culinary Institute, and live farm animals and livestock from the LSU AgCenter. 
    Music will be provided by the Louisiana Dulcimer Society and the Greater Philadelphia Baptist Church VIP Singers. By popular demand, “Old-Fashioned Cake Walk” will be there. Children will enjoy a special appearance by Smokey the Bear from the Louisiana Office of Forestry and “The Little Red Hen” puppet performance.
    For more information, call (225) 658-1540.
