Hundreds of children and adults showed up to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Minden Coca-Cola Distributing (and formerly Bottling) Company on Saturday, May 30 at Victory Park. The day featured music by the live band, “Wonderdogs,” food from Fat Guys Catering, farm fresh goods from The Farm Boy, and snowcones from Pleasure Point Rentals & Storage. Activities included the splash pad, bouncy houses, and face painting. Giveaways and prizes marked the 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. event, along with the distribution of Coca-Cola tee shirts and bottled commemorative Cokes. A free shuttle service was provided for those folks not interested in trying to find a rare parking space. (Photos by Marilyn Miller)
