Webster Parish Assessor Denise Edwards and her staff pulled double duty at their office Wednesday by holding a Christmas party while taking their oaths of office for the new term beginning January 1, 2025, with Clerk of Court Holli Vining doing the swearing-in honors.

“Thank you to the citizens for honoring us with the privilege of serving you for another four years,” Edwards said.
