2020-09-25 Pink FlaminGoes Visit Ponchatoula LA

Friday morning, many of us headed into Ponchatoula for breakfast at the Berrytown Corner Cafe. They were ready for us and had a separate room all set up.
They had lots of great choices for breakfast including stuffed beignets as well as normal omelettes, bacon and eggs etc. Carolyn wanted to order an Irish Coffee but they were out of the special spice they use in them but there were lots of other great choices. My cafe-ah-lait  which was great.

We got our breakfast orders in and then.....

The chamber of commerce showed up with corsages for everyone. They had ribbons with pink flamingos on each one.

Carolyn and Cathy asked for "help" in getting the corsages pinned on, lol.

Cathy had no idea what she was sitting in front of when Carolyn snapped this picture. All in fun. Cathy worked with the chamber of commerce to set up our visit. In addition to the corsages and welcome greeting at the restaurant, there were signs welcoming us in many of the shops and some of them even had special surprises when we walked in.

Ponchatoula is famous for strawberries. We originally had the Flocking scheduled for April when the Strawberry Festival is held but it was cancelled due to the viru.


The Ponchatoula Depot is now the Country Market.




Lots of interesting things to see in the Market.

Ponchatoula has a nice downtown area.

In addition to the buildings, there are also displays from the town history as well as a museum.

Antiques are plentiful here too.



Moss and Berry had a very nice surprise for us inside.

The neighboring store owner was all decked out for our visit.

Moss and Berry had momosas for us. We were able to enjoy them out on their small patio.


All in all, we had a wonderful time in Ponchatoula. It's a great place to visit if you are anywhere in the area.
