It is a 3,000 seat outdoor stadium with a relatively new synthetic grass surface utilized for both boys and girls sports including football, soccer, and lacrosse, and also involving competitive grade levels anywhere from elementary through high school. Loyola's moniker on the sporting fields and courts is the Flyers. Their mascot is Snoopy. THE actual Snoopy cartoon character as drawn and created by Charles M. Schultz. Shultz gave permission himself, in 1966, for this school to use Snoopy's likeness in promoting its athletic and academic endeavors. It is the only school to this day, and in this giant world to legally have this right to present the beloved beagle as their very own.

Our tour guide was Jean, she use to teach school in Minden and was very knowledgeable of the colony and the people here. There is a lot to be see from some of the original homes to the smokehouse and blacksmith work shop that was added later. From what we understood a lot of the families of the original members are donating items back to the Germantown to be observed by tourist. When the tour is over and you leave, up on the right is the Germantown Cemetery, very interesting to see when, where they were born and how they had past on.

And as lovely as she is as a two story venue, I hold just as equal appreciation and admiration for the history that she displays both within and without. In front of this building right off Clyde Fant Parkway in downtown Shreveport, is the large statue of this city's, once a town's, namesake, Captain Henry Miller Shreve (Yelp Check In-Captain Henry Miller Shreve Statue! He adores selfie-seekers, just fyi, so selfie on, out front of here with the Captain!) Also quite appropriate is the placement of the Captain Shreve statue here, as you can see the Red River from here, where Shreve and his steam vessel the Heliopolis helped clear the aforementioned nearby waterway of the miles-long dastardly debris known infamously as The Great Raft! The interior of this theater pays further homage with large marble postings dedicated to both Shreve, and on the flip side, the Heliopolis. The gorgeous venue itself, has excellent acoustics, and great seating all around. The Shreveport Symphony and Ballet give unforgettable performances here often, and there are also world wide stars and touring shows that house here on occasion. The gorgeous structure itself seems to add that much more glory to an already glorious evening or matinee afternoon.

The theater was not open before 7pm and the very prominent signage expressing no food or drink was not subtle. There was a make shift bar. If you wanted a cocktail in the lobby. And soon as the theater opens the wines and waters were welcome. So. I'm not sure if the signs were enforced. Seating is cramped. The restroom had 3 stalls. The show was $23 I will go back.

It was a festival after all. I wanted lights and lanterns, and trees lit from the limbs. There was none of that really. And the shows were on a low platform, so watching it above the crowds was a problem for short folks like myself. All in all, I recommend going when you can enjoy the space without the people. For an interesting change of pace, the festival was okay. Lots of food options as well as local vendors. Parking was not an issue. And I even walked around the church while waiting for the fireworks show. (And stopped in Parish Taceaux)
