Grant Parish Businessman Commissions Local Artist for Special Project

Artist Mike Roberts stated that this project was one of the greatest honors in his years of painting. Roberts was commissioned by Grant Parish businessman Chris Carr to paint this 22x28 life size oil painting of Winn Parish Sheriff, Cranford Jordan. The stunning portrait was presented to Sheriff Jordan by Carr and his son Lucas at the WPSO recently. Lucas is pictured with the sheriff above. Roberts thanked Carr for the honor of “painting a man who has given a lifetime of law enforcement, safety, rescue, protection, production, stability, and loving service to Winn Parish.”

Mrs. Washington, librarian from the Atlanta branch of the Winn Parish Library, visited Magnolia Bend Atlanta Academy recently. Mrs. Washington joined in the Read Across America celebration by reading a Dr. Seuss book to the students. She also provided several activities for the class to participate in and then led them in a fun game, “Pin the Hat on Dr. Seuss”. It was a great time for all.
