Doyle Jeter: NE La Celtic Fest on Sat, Oct 16, Forsythe Park, Monroe, 10 am to 9 pm; no cover
Doyle Jeter, proprietor of Enoch's Irish Pub in Monroe, points out that almost all the good souls of North Louisiana have Celtic blood. And that his fest, the Northeast Louisiana Celtic Festival, provides them with insight into their heritage.
In truth, the fest is predictably heavy on Irish culture. That's because the Irish have done a better job than others at keeping the Celtic world alive.
See the free event in Forsythe Park, Monroe, on Sat, Oct 16, 10 am to 9 pm.

Ozark Society, Arkansas Canoe Club, Shreveport Green volunteers to mount a Red River Clean-Up Day on Sat, Oct 16, 8 am
It's easy to take the Red River for granted. But it is quite worthy of our
thought and perhaps more comforting than politics as a civic concern.
The Red is gar and gators and garbage: it is increasingly a place for recreation and fishing, it still has economic potential and is a never-ending repository for our refuse. The river is also the source of drinking water for Bossier.
Thus, a clean-up: on Saturday, October 16th at 8 a.m., volunteers from the Bayou Chapter of the Ozark Society will partner with the Ark-La-Tex Chapter of the Arkansas Canoe Club and Shreveport Green to kick-off the 1st annual Red River Clean Up in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana.
This annual event aims tol raise public awareness of the magnitude of trash accumulating in our river as well as all of our Nation’s waterways.
The clean-up joins locals with two national organizations that focus on America’s waterways and oceans. The Red River Clean Up is registered as a National River Cleanup with American Rivers http://
www.americanrivers.org . It is also registered with PADI’s Project Aware http://www.projectaware.org, which is focused on conserving underwater environments.
If you would like to be a part of this event, we could really use your help, says Nancy Larned – whether it’s an extra set of hands OR a handful of volunteers from your organization or business. If you cannot be there, you can make a donation of work gloves, food, drinks or door prizes for our incredible volunteers. We welcome ideas and expertise as well.

SciPort allows visitors to Be The Dinosaur via interactive simulators; exhibit opens Fri, Sept 24
Visitors will have the chance to go beyond looking at dinosaur fossils and have the opportunity - at SciPort - to virtually Be The Dinosaur, says Karen Wissing.
The break-through lies in interactive, technology-driven dinosaur simulators.
Eureka Inquiry-Based Simulation Technology will allow visitors to fully experience dinosaurs in a entirely new way. By using one of the eight available dinosaur simulators, people of all ages will be able to control their Triceratops or Tyrannosaurus Rex in an environment so detailed that digital winds carry virtual odors and photorealistic flora grow and have their own nutritional values.
Hands-on activities led by Sci-Port staff to complement the exhibit will include:
- Fossils Throughout Time
- Design Your Own Dino
- Dig-and-Take Fossil Hunt
Those who grow hungry during the simulated dinosauristics will be able to recharge via a new food source at SciPort: a branch of Counter Culture. The latest outlet of the popular yogurt shop opened Sept 10.
