Alternative Thanksgiving for Shreveport: Bicyclists meet at 3 pm, Fri, Nov 28, Columbia Park, to ride Cranksgiving

Shreveport's Inaugural Cranksgiving is a two-wheel banquet that has been infused with butter, herbs and sweat.

"Meet us at Columbia Park to ride out at 3pm," says Stephen Pederson.

"It’s simple. Bring your bike, some cash (we’ll get to that a little later) and probably a coat, socks and you know, stuff so you’re not cold. We’ll head over to the grocery store and buy items for those in need (it’s the reason for the season). Things like soap, deodorant, can goods, etc. The items will be donated to The Philadelphia Center."

"We know your bike has a basket or you have a backpack in which to carry those items. We’ll then pedal to Great Raft Brewing to drop off donations, drink beer and listen to local live music."

Entertainment at Great Raft Brewing, 5-10 PM:
Alexandra McCullough
The Devil Anse
The Dubonauts
Madeline & Shay with Michael Brown
The Bristol Hills
