On behalf of the Lake St. John Recreation and Water Conservation District Commission, I want to publicly thank The Natchez Democrat for its excellent coverage of the Lake St. John Harvest Festival, which took place Sept. 26.

Vershal Hogan of The Democrat staff was extremely helpful in getting important information out to the readers prior to the event.

The event was enjoyable to all in attendance, and an overall success.

Thanks, again, for your professionalism in this matter.

Jane Vaughan

Festival co-chairman
