Covington, LA – Make plans now to attend the Covington Heritage Foundation’s (CHF) annual History and Holly Home Tour, which will be presented on Sunday, Dec. 8, from 2-5 p.m. and this year – for the first time – will include two historic churches. This annual event has quickly become a Northshore holiday tradition.
