-Dubach Restoration
and Beautification
Organization, Inc. (DRABO)
The Dubach Chicken Festival was begun in
1989 by DRABO. The Festival honors growers and their families,
the poultry industry, and sponsors of the Festival. In 1995, the
Louisiana Legislature proclaimed the festival to be the official
Louisiana Chicken Festival.
Profits from the Louisiana Chicken Festival are invested in
landscaping, building restoration, creation of a park at James Lake,
helping the Lincoln Parish Museum restore the Autrey House (the
oldest standing "Dog Trot" house in Lincoln Parish), Easter Egg Hunts,
and Christmas programs for all area citizens. Many Christmas
decorations have been purchased for the Town and installed by DRABO
members. The ultimate goal of DRABO is economic development, but
members felt they had to improve the quality of life in Dubach before
they could attract new businesses. DRABO feels their program is
very successful and are continuing to work toward revitalizing the
downtown area.
One graduating senior at Dubach HIgh School will receive a $500
scholarship from DRABO in May every year.
