OPELOUSAS, La. -- Opelousas plans a parade Saturday to honor hometown hero Devery Henderson, the New Orleans Saints wide receiver who had seven catches for 63 yards in the Super Bowl win over Indianapolis.
Eva Noel of the mayor's office, which is planning the parade, says Henderson's time in Opelousas will be limited because he has other events scheduled both that morning and evening.
But she says Henderson will stay around for a short autograph session at the stadium after a post-parade ceremony. Mayor Donald Cravins Sr. will give him the keys to the city and a street sign commemorating the city's decision to rename Jefferson Street in his honor.
Noel says a lot of schools want to participate in the parade.
