This weekend in Covington, LA

A table tennis open play session for participants of any age and any skill level. First timers and long-time players are both welcome to take part.

At Mandeville Market, a participating vendor will have all-natural detergent for laundry, a cleaner for surfaces, and essential oils.

Meet adoptable rescue dogs and puppies at Covington PetSmart. These events typically feature 15 to 20 pups ready to meet potential adopters, with adoptions available for those who already have an approved application. Because applications usually take about three days to process, submitting in advance is encouraged. If adopting is not the right fit, the rescue also welcomes foster caregivers. Fostering has no out of pocket cost, and the rescue provides all necessary supplies and veterinary care. Foster volunteers can drop off their foster dogs for the event and pick them up afterward if they are not adopted.

Auditions continue for Moonlight Productions' staging of C. Z. Barnett’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, directed by Ashley Osbourn-Dukes. The team is shaping a shadowy, fairytale-inspired interpretation that blends Victorian-era chills, unusual apparitions, heartfelt warmth, redemption, and a touch of stage magic. Actors should arrive with a prepared monologue, and either modern or period pieces are acceptable. Opportunities are open to experienced performers as well as those stepping onto the stage for the first time.
