The rain stopped Friday around 2 p.m. and the Minden community showed up and showed out at the annual Juneteenth Celebration on Martin Luther King Drive.

“Everything and everyone was great,” said organizer Michael Walker. “Thanks to the Juneteenth committee for a job well done.”

Walker also thanked all the vendors, elected officials, Minden Police, Webster Parish Sheriff and Minden Fire departments for their support. “After the rain left people came out,” Walker said.

Dj Ron for kept everyone jumping and Walker thanked the song bird herself Therah Newman. 

“This could have not been possible for all the support from the people of Minden Louisiana,” Walker said. “I love it when we come together – it turned out great.”
