House Resolution 131 commends the organizers, volunteers, and royal court of the 2018 Italian Festival held in Tickfaw, Louisiana. This annual festival, which has been celebrated for a decade, is notable for its strong focus on family-friendly activities and the commemoration of Italian American culture and heritage. The event features carnival rides, local entertainment, and a spaghetti cook-off, making it a significant gathering for the community and a chance to celebrate cultural contributions from the Italian descent population in Louisiana.

The simplicity and focus on commendation suggest a unanimous support which may overlook deeper discussions surrounding funding and community engagement.
