MARKSVILLE, LA – For a second year, Paragon Casino Resort has donated $50,000 to the Avoyelles Commission of Tourism (ACT) to support the organization’s efforts to promote Avoyelles Parish as a vibrant travel destination.
“It’s important to us at Paragon to invest in the people and organizations that make our parish a great place to live and visit,” said Marshall Ray Sampson, Sr., GM of Paragon Casino Resort. “Avoyelles Parish is rich with culture, history and opportunity, and we’re honored to support the Avoyelles Commission of Tourism in sharing that story with visitors from near and far.”
