St. Bernard seeking slogan, mascot (NOLA)

March 27, 2008

Six years after a contest brought St. Bernard Parish government a new flag and logo incorporating the Chalmette National Monument and blue, white and gold from the flag of the Canary Islands, the parish is searching for a slogan and mascot.

The parish seeks a slogan “that will describe St. Bernard’s heritage and uniqueness to visitors,” according to a recent news release. The mascot, meanwhile, will be used for parish recreational sports teams.

The contests are part of a parish beautification effort on Paris Road that will include 40 cypress trees and a sign bearing the new slogan, a parish news release said. In addition, the parish will seek to enlist businesses along the highway corridors to adopt sections of the medians to do more plantings.

Entries for the slogan and mascot contests are due by March 31.

For the slogan contest, bring entries to Karen Turni Bazile in the parish president’s office, 8201 W. Judge Perez Drive, Chalmette, or e-mail her at kbazile@sbpg.net. For information, call (504) 278-4280. Entries can be faxed to (504) 278-4330.

For the mascot contest, send entries to Recreation Director Donnie Bourgeois in the Recreation Trailer K-10 at the parish government complex, 8201 W. Judge Perez Drive, Chalmette. They can also be e-mailed to the office manager at moneil@sbpg.net.

For more information, call (504) 278-4295. Entries can be faxed to (504) 278-4294.

Entries for both contests also can be mailed to the attention of Turni Bazile or Bourgeois at the St. Bernard Parish Government Complex, 8201 W. Judge Perez Drive, Chalmette, LA 70043.
