By Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID New Iberia April 27, 2023

May is around the corner ... and we would love to highlight the small businesses, Mompreneurs, and local stores in New Iberia, Franklin, Morgan City, Breaux Bridge,  and Abbeville, and other communities in our area this month.

We are creating a local guide that will feature the small businesses in our community and we would love to have yours added to our list! 

May is a huge month for celebrations, from Teacher's Appreciation Week to Mother's Day, and we want to make sure to give our small businesses a shout out this May!
