Parish President Ryan Seal, Councilwoman Kim Miller Wagner, and Councilman Steven Ray Branch were proud to join family, friends, and community members in welcoming the Soder Family and celebrating their investment in Mt. Hermon.

Silver Creek Campground is a wonderful addition to Washington Parish, offering another opportunity for residents and visitors alike to enjoy the natural beauty and hospitality that make our parish such a special place.

“On this D-Day anniversary, we pause to honor the extraordinary courage of the Allied forces who faced unimaginable danger in the name of freedom. Their sacrifice changed the course of history and secured the liberties we enjoy today. We owe a debt of gratitude to those heroes and to all who have worn our nation’s uniform in service to our country. May we never forget their valor, their sacrifice, and the price paid for freedom.”
