Who will battle it out in this year's Independence Bowl?
Everyone is eager to find out if their team will play in the 2004
Independence Bowl. The wait will soon be over! The Independence Bowl
will announce on Dec. 5, 2004, which teams will be invited to
participate in this year's bowl game.
There are a number of ancillary events you won't want to miss,
like the FCA Athletes Breakfast and the Autograph Party on Dec. 26,
and the Minuteman Luncheon and the Pep Rally on Dec. 27. Game kickoff
is at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 28.
After the teams are announced, local hotels will begin accepting
reservations for the blocks of rooms set aside for fans. Rooms sell
out quickly, but there are many additional rooms available in towns
surrounding Shreveport-Bossier City. Also, many local rooms become
available as game day nears and people cancel reservations for rooms
booked in excess of their need. Although the bureau does not make
room reservations, we are committed to helping everyone find a place
to stay, and we call local hotels every day to check availability.
The results will be posted each morning at
www.shreveport-bossier.org/indy_bowl/.
You may also call us at 888-45-VISIT to check availability.

It's that time of year again when Santa makes his list and checks
it twice. We hope you haven't been naughty, or at least didn't get
caught at it!

residents are really in the holiday spirit and you'll enjoy driving
through our neighborhoods to see their handiwork. Check out our
Christmas event calendar
and make your travel plans today!

Louisiana Boardwalk on track to open this spring
The Red River is the picturesque setting for Shreveport-Bossier City's
spectacular shopping and entertainment destination,
Louisiana Boardwalk,
now under construction. Joining a vibrant casino district nestled
along the majestic riverfront for nearly a half-mile, Louisiana
Boardwalk's dynamic blend of shopping, marina, restaurants and

been open for more than a year now and anchors the north end of the
Louisiana Boardwalk. Construction on the rest of the project will
soon be complete. The scheduled opening date is March 18, 2005. In
addition to riverfront dining, a carousel and the Magnolia Belle
trolley, look for these great restaurants and outlet shops:
