BELMONT — Village Council made plans to reopen the Belmont Gymnasium for rentals beginning in April and to hold the annual Easter egg hunt and Memorial Day parade and services in the village.
The Belmont Gym, which for years has been a popular site for a variety of gatherings and events and a regular source of income for the village, has been closed for public use since early 2020 due to the coronovirus outbreak.
Residents will soon have free access to fresh fruit in Terrebonne and Lafourche thanks to a grant received by the St. Francis Vegetable Garden in Thibodaux.
The $3,000 grant from Louisiana Healthy Communities Coalition has provided 90 key lime, lemon and orange trees to be planted around the area for public consumption.
The grant money was designed to help provide free, healthy food to the public, especially to those with limited access to fresh fruits. More trees have been acquired for the project through local donations to the garden, and the total number to be planted has already exceeded 100.
Cheryl Skinner, garden coordinator of the St. Francis Vegetable Garden, said the trees will go to community sites such as schools, churches and recreation centers.
