The Natchitoches Meat Pie Festival, held Sept. 15-16, filled the air with hot air balloons, energetic music, the spicy aroma of meat pies and even a few screams. Vendors sold their wares and a kids area offered pony rides and a variety of other fun activities. Hot air balloon rides gave the public a bird’s eye view of the festival grounds. A performance by Dark Woods zombies treated the crowd to a thriller dance toward the end of Saturday night. Friday night featured a brew fest.
