Welcome to the first issue of The Denham Springs Local!
This is a simple weekly email that pulls together what’s happening in and around Denham Springs, Walker, and Watson so you don’t have to hunt through Facebook groups, city pages, and half-updated event posts to figure out what’s going on.
If you’ve ever thought, “I know something is going on this week but I have no idea where to look,” congratulations. This email exists specifically because of that feeling.
Every Tuesday morning you’ll get:
Local events happening this week
Community happenings worth knowing about
Family-friendly things to do
Stuff you’d actually tell a neighbor about
No regional news. No politics. No crime reports. Just useful, local information in one place.
This email goes out once a week, covers Tuesday through Monday, and links directly to the original sources so you can dig deeper if you want.
If you ever see an event we missed, feel free to send it in. This works best when locals help keep it local.
Alright, let’s get into this week.
