The Mrs. Roper Romp for Literacy was held on August. 22 in Natchitoches, bringing members of the community together to promote literacy, reading and education while supporting efforts to make a positive difference in the community.

The event is a 1970s-themed community event inspired by Helen Roper, a character from the television show “Three’s Company.” Participants typically dress in Roper’s signature style, including bright caftans, oversized sunglasses, chunky jewelry and curly red wigs.

Mrs. Roper Romp events are held in communities across the country and are often organized to raise money or awareness for charitable causes.

The Natchitoches event, known as the “Mrs. Roper Romp for Literacy,” is associated with The Society of Sugar Magnolias and focuses on supporting literacy.
