Once again, on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 the Washington Parish Republican Women (WPRW) hosted the Annual Silent Auction and Tasting Luncheon at the Coke Plant in Bogalusa where all elected officials, candidates, community, and friends were invited to gather, share lunch, shake hands, and visit with friends. All enjoyed fresh cooked Louisiana Seafood (fried catfish and shrimp) along with home cooked Roast Beef, Fried Chicken, Various Entrées, Pasta, Casseroles, Vegetables, Salads and Desserts. Many friends from our neighboring parishes also joined in the fun.
A main attraction of the event also included the silent auction with exciting donations from members and friends.
Donations and Sponsorships were graciously accepted from many of our elected officials who support the group's efforts in the parish, including Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser, U.S. Representative Julia Letlow, State Senator Beth Mizell, State Representative John Wyble, Division J 22nd JDC Judge Ellen Creel, Washington Parish President Ryan Seal, 22nd Judicial District Attorney Collin Sims, and Washington Parish Sheriff Jason Smith.
