Every twist and turn of the harvest dance brought a smile to the dancers as well as the audience at the Hungarian Fall Festival held Sept. 25-27 at Fayard Field in Springfield.
Inaugural Hungarian Festival celebrates heritage, history
BY RICHARD MEEK Contributing writer
Margit Ramsey paused for a moment of reflection, her mind briefly drifting back in time as a young girl in a faraway land. And in that moment, the aromas of her favorite foods permeated the steamy fall afternoon and the sounds of a familiar language Ramsey sensed a feeling of comfort as she was spending an afternoon at the Hungarian Harvest Festival in Springfield, home of the largest Hungarian settlement in the country. “It feels very comfortable and similar to where I grew up,” Ramsay, a Hungar-
ian native who left her native land to move to Chicago with her parents at the age of six, said. Ramsey was one of more than a combined 5,000 people who attended the inaugural event Sept. 25-27 at Fayard Field in Springfield, a tight-knit community that is proud of its heritage and determined to preserve its culture. “That is one thing we are going to keep is our tradition,” said Mindy Starkey, president of the Árpádhon Hungarian Settlement in Springfield, which organized the festival that also included the traditional harvest dance.
At the conclusion of the harvest dance the Hungarian tradition calls for the audience, young and old alike, to pick ä See HERITAGE, page 3G the fruit that had been hung above the dance floor.

East Ascension linebacker Micah Levy (12) tries to wrap up Walker quarterback Jayce Evans (10) in the first quarter on Friday in Walker.
A week after making a field goal in double overtime to defeat its archrival, East Ascension was back on a high-wire act once again. Sophomore defensive back Daylan Bouvay stormed through to block a punt that caromed into the hands of teammate D’Landon Nabor for a 40-yard return and touchdown with 15 seconds remaining, capping a whirlwind second half that led the Spartans to an improbable 28-24 victory at Walker in a
District 5-5A thriller on Friday. “We didn’t have a lot of time,” Bouvay said. “We had to do something, and I just put my body on the line and went to get the punt. We returned it and scored and that’s all that mattered. It’s a team sport.” East Ascension (4-1, 2-0 in 5-5A) outscored Walker (4-1, 1-1) 21-0 in the second half to rally from a 24-7 halftime deficit. “We played the worst half of football that we could have played

Historical society tours Hungarian cemetery, discusses preservation BY JAMES MINTON
Contributing writer
Joe Erdey, whose grandparents were among the original Hungarian immigrants to settle in the area between Albany and Springfield in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, led members of the Edward Livingston Historical Association on a tour of the Hungarian Presbyterian Church and cemetery on Saturday. Established in 1907, the church has endured and is growing as the fourth- and fifth-generation of Hungarian families continue to call the Hungarian Settle-
ment home, he said. A parish councilman, Erdey said he is working to preserve the community much as it was when immigrants from the Northeast United States moved in to work in the large Brakenridge Sawmill in the area. The Brakenridge operation eventually moved west, but the Hungarians stayed because they were afforded the opportunity to buy land, something they could not have done in Hungary, Erdey said. The cemetery is unusual in that most of the graves are aligned on a northsouth axis rather than east-west.

HERITAGE
Continued from page 1G Starky and organization Vice President Marsha McKnight recalled fond memories of growing up cooking traditional Hungarian food and speaking the language with their parents and grandparents. “So many other communities let their heritage die and we knew we had something special here,” Starkey said. “We are not going to see this die,” Starkey said the harvest dance is a 120-year-old tradition and essentially was held once a year. For two years the organization also celebrated Hungarian Cultural Day at different time of the year that did not include the harvest dance. But after the final Harvest Day celebration in 2025, Starkey was asked about expanding the event into a weekend. Starkey and McKnight readily agreed and after a meeting with Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser plans for the festival began. “We are just so thrilled to have this little opportunity for Springfield,” said local resident Winnie Hughes. “It is fun to see people at a community function because we just don’t have many of these. “I think it gives the community an opportunity to be proud and for the kids to have a great and safe experience.” Springfield native Eric
One of the most popular spots at the Hungarian Festival was under the food tent, where neighbors met neighbors and cultures met cultures. Jennings said the event is meaningful because it brings the community together, neighbor talking to neighbor. “There’s really not much to do out here unless you are on a boat,” Jennings said. Starkey said as the event drew near, she could sense the enthusiasm through social media. “It was blowing up,” she said. “People started reaching out and wanted to promote it. We knew it was going to be big.” Those lofty expectations were easily surpassed, with more than 2,000 people attending opening night on Sept. 25. And Saturday was no different with another large gathering, especially as the harvest dance began. “This is a big step because more people are going to know about our heritage,” McKnight said. “Before we just had a handful of people
come to the Harvest Dance, now we are seeing people from all over the United States.” For much of the afternoon of Sept. 26, Ramsey sat quietly, taking delight in the Hungarian fare such as cabbage rolls and kiflik. Seven months ago she moved from Arizona to Lafayette where she is looking for work. Not long after moving to Lafayette, she began researching Hungarian settlements in Louisiana and was intrigued by the Springfield Hungarian community. “Eventually I would like to get to know the people better (in Springfield) and I will toss my net here (in the job search),” she said. “In this world things get skewed by the noise and just having people that understand and share a common history is very important to our sense of belonging. “It is home.”

in the first half,” EA coach Brock Matherne said. “When we do things together and believe, we can accomplish anything, and these kids don’t give up.” EA scored on its final three possessions — a span of eight minutes — when Zion Delong’s 30-yard scoring run reduced Walker’s lead to 2421 with 10:42 remaining in the game. Quarterback Zaylen Smith, who was 10 of 26 for 169 yards, threw his second touchdown to Jeremyah Merriweather, a 34-yarder, near the end of the third quarter and Savannah Barker added the second of her four successful extra points. Merryweather finished with five catches for 131 yards. Walker, which had a first-andgoal at EA’s 2-yard line but went backward with three penalties and a high snap midway through the third quarter, was set to punt from the Spartans’ 41 when Bouvay’s all-out effort resulted in the block of Brodie Marino’s effort and returned by Nabor for the goahead score. The Wildcats reached the Spar-
tans’ 30 on Jayce Evans’ 19-yard completion to Brashad London, which resulted in their final timeout with eight seconds to go. Evans scrambled and found London over the middle, and London was tackled by EA’s Demirain Williams at the 15-yard line at the horn. Evans completed 8 of 10 passes for 192 yards with London leading the way with three receptions for 70 yards. “The whole message at halftime was, ‘If you’re not coming out hungry, you just awoke a giant,’ ” Walker coach Chris Harrell said. Walker’s defense emerged with the biggest play of the first half when linebacker Dylan Armstead collected a loose ball and brought it back 87 yards for a momentumswinging touchdown and 10-7 lead on the first play of the second quarter. That was the trigger of a stretch of 21 unanswered points for the Wildcats to take a 17-point lead into the locker room. “That’s who we are,” Matherne said. “We don’t look at the scoreboard or worry about things that are out of our control and control what we can control. We played with East Ascension effort, toughness and grit.”
