Meat Pies, Cajun Baked Potato, and Orange Leaf!

Merci Beaucoup Restaurant
Cajun Baked Potato

Church Street Inn

It all started with the CHURCH STREET INN on 2nd Street and somewhere between a Cajun Potato at Merci Beaucoup Restaurant, Balloon Twisting, and Lemon Cake from The Sugar Shack, we ended up having one of our tastiest, awesome Grand Opening celebrations to date! Natchitoches is rich with history and Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt is now officially a part of it’s present and future. With a Meat Pie Breakfast on the top of the menu, a trip to Lasyone’s Restaurant for Breakfast, (Two mornings in a row) seals the deal on this Louisiana treasure that Orange Leaf now calls home. 

Ribbon Cutting in Natchitoches - December 9, 2011

Along side the Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce, Orange Leaf celebrated it’s official welcome to the Natchitoches community by holding a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Friday, December 9th.  With about 50 in attendance, it was by far the most attended ribbon to date.  

The Orange Leaf Louisiana team then traveled across the parking lot to deliver toys to the RADIO M*A*S*H tent in the Walmart parking lot to deliver toys for the boys and girls in the Natchitoches area.  Orange Leaf Louisiana was proud to be a part of this worthwhile endeavor and thanks those who sponsor, man the tent, and organize the event. 

Taking a break Christmas shopping on Front Street, the team found themselves in the Rocking Horse Toy Store.  Did you know that you can have your toys delivered by a HORSE DRAWN carriage there?  Only in Natchitoches!  Then on to the Pioneer Pub for their signature burger....YUM!  

Another hot spot was Papa’s Bar and Grill and right next door MAMA’S Oyster House.  Both are a Natchitoches treasure and are not to be missed.

Then, on Saturday the 10th, (after 2nd trip to Lasoyone’s), the Grand Opening celebrations was in full swing.  Santa brightened the day of the young and old alike even hearing Christmas wishes outside the store while the children were still in their parents cars.  Curbside Service with a SMILE!  A color contest held most of the kids attention until the balloon artist arrived.  Balloons were the thing from 3-5 with twisting art that you couldn’t even begin to imagine.  Swords, Penguins, and even a fishing pole with a little fish attached were ordered by each child from a menu of balloon creations.  It was a BIG HIT!  Face painting ended the day, with Butterflies, Ladybugs, to Spiderman creations. 

Balloons anyone?

Rockelle decided she DID like Santa!

December is a busy month for most.  Full of Christmas songs, parties, and hustle and bustle.  Thank you Natchitoches community, for embracing Orange Leaf and taking time out of your busy schedule to include us in your day.  The Festival of Lights is a special event, but not nearly as special as the people that live there.  We are proud to be a part of your rich tradition!
