1. Participate in Discover Monroe-West Monroe's 318 Day Time Capsule! Leave your mark on history! On March 18, we will bury a time capsule filled with responses from 318 community members, capturing all the reasons why we love Ouachita Parish. This isn’t just any time capsule - it’s set to be opened in exactly 31 years and eight months on November 18, 2056. Imagine future generations uncovering your thoughts and memories! Be a part of this legacy by attending the time capsule ceremony and sharing your love for the 318 area. Entries accepted March 1-14 OR until we've received 318 entries. *Note: we are no longer accepting entries.*

2. Show off your artistic side with Discover Monroe-West Monroe's Coloring Sheets! Individuals can pick up the #318Day coloring sheet at the visitors center or they can download it here. Individuals can bring their finished sheet from March 18-20 to receive a small prize.

3. Be the 1 Photo Op! Large "3" and "8" wooden numbers will be on display in Palace Park in Monroe and Alley Park in West Monroe. Stop by and be the "1" in the "318."

4. Everyone is invited to highlight something special about the 318 on their social media platforms. We'll be active on our social media that day, so be sure to tag us! We are @discovermonroewestmonroe on Instagram and Discover Monroe-West Monroe on Facebook. Make sure to use the hashtags #DiscoverMWM and #318Day.

5. Join us at the Discover Monroe-West Monroe office (601 Constitution Drive, West Monroe) on #318Day at 2:00 PM for a special press conference as we bury the 318 Time Capsule, enjoy cookies, and celebrate Ouachita Parish together!
