SRAC's biennial blow-out, Christmas in the Sky, takes place Sat, Dec 11, La Downs, supports arts programs and artists in region
Some 2,000 guests will motor to Harrah's La Downs on Sat, Dec 11, to see one of the most spectacular parties in the region: the biennial Christmas in the Sky.
Harrah's Louisiana Downs will be transformed, says Julia Foley. Beatlemania will envelope the guests from parking lot through 2 floors of super-colorful rooms. Beatlemania will rock the clock from 7 pm to 3 am.
To benefit regional arts activities and artists, Shreveport Regional Arts Council and a large team of volunteers create 16 auction areas, 10 entertainment stages, 12 themed bars, and 11 themed hot and cold buffets.
The 2008 event generated a half million dollars to support SRAC programs throughout Northwest Louisiana, says Foley.
If you love the arts and an evening of well-dressed sensory overload, call SRAC or get tickets online. They're $250 each. Not to worry: remarks overheard after recent editions of this over-the-top event indicate that the party is worth every dollar to the patron class.

Short, accessible hike within East Shreveport proper: Coates Bluff Nature Trail; park & trek from Montessori School for Shreveport
Colorful river bottom land suitable for all ages hiking here in the city of Shreveport? It's the Coates Bluff Nature Trail.
Access it by parking at Montessori School for Shreveport and walking across Sevier St to follow the tags along the bayouside path.
Developed by environmental advocate Jon Soul, the Coates Bluff Nature Trail is a work in its early stages. Still, it is ready for trekking. The first couple of hundred yards are mulched; the remainder is a leaf-strewn, easy to follow woods loop.
When it is fully extended, the Coates Bluff Nature Trail will connect three schools: Montessori School for Shreveport, Stoner Elementary and Caddo Magnet High.
The basis of the trail is the old Bayou Pierre river bed.
The trail has been cleaned and cleared by students and adults from Montessori, Stoner neighborhood, Anderson Island neighborhood and members of A Better Shreveport.

Power of the brush: artist David Holcombe keeps alive issues of the day in paintings at Meadows Museum of Art, Shreveport
Harvey Milk & Billy Graham are co-angels in one composition. In another work the students who died in the Virginia Tech shooting are alive. Chairman Mao wears Mousketeer ears and becomes a sinister buffoon in another painting.
These are images from the work of Dr David Holcombe. They are on display upstairs at Meadows Museum of Art, Centenary College.
Holcombe is a painter who says he "uses the power of the brush" to probe the art consumers' social conscience.
Says Meadows director Diane DuFilho, "'Visions and Visionaries' is comprised of portraits that reflect the myriad social interests of the artist. Many of the subjects are elaborate political cartoons that comment on diverse subjects including gun control, abortion and violence among other social and political issues."
Holcombe is a quiet fellow, a physician, life-long painter and collector of art. He has the ability to evoke the issues of the day within canvasses that oscillate upon the wall.
His portraits - aided by good signage - are stimulating in every sense and constitute a highly-recommendable exhibit.

Truckstop Honeymoon opens for Dirtfoot at the Riverside Warehouse, 630 Commerce, Shreveport, on Sat, Nov 20
J Bratlie of Dirtfoot writes, "There's a group that we're bringing to town called Truckstop Honeymoon. They will be opening the night for us on Nov 20 at The Warehouse. Mike (originally from Australia) and Katy West are a husband and wife team that met in New Orleans, formed their group and eventually fled from Katrina. They ended up in Lawrence KS where their acoustic based music, Banjo/guitar and upright bass, was well appreciated by the Kansas folk."
"They set up home, but had one problem with KS: no Mardi Gras. So they put on their own parade on Fat Tuesday down the cold streets of Lawrence, KS, and it has now grown into a real event. We've played a few shows with them and they really are great people. One of our favorite songs of theirs is called Magnolia Tree."
