It is still unknown how many “watch parties” there were in the community for Sunday night’s Hometown Kickstart Minden on HGTV, but perhaps the largest and most well-attended was at Geaux Fresh in downtown Minden.

Jodie Martin and crew at her bistro and bakery were featured as a business makeover, along with the home of the Phillip Smart family and Miller Quarters and Angel parks.

Work begins in earnest now as the community prepares for summer tourists.
