Red River Revel 48
The annual arts festival is back with a Latin flair
by Kerry M. Kirspel
The leaves are changing color, the days are growing cooler, and blue-and-white striped tents are springing up at Festival Plaza in downtown Shreveport.
It’s Red River Revel time again. The annual celebration of the arts returns to the Riverfront for its 48th edition from Sept. 28 through Oct. 6.
This year’s Revel theme is “Vamonos Riendo,” which means, “We all go together laughing.” And why not? The Revel puts a smile on visitors’ faces every year.

The Street Festival That Could
Cirque du Lake celebrates 10 years
by Joe Todaro
There’s going to be so much to do, and it’s free.”
That’s how Katy Larsen and Eric Hess describe the 10th anniversary of the Cirque du Lake. It became the little street festival that could until COVID-19 halted it, and now, it’s making a comeback.
Cirque du Lake, presented by the Agora Borealis, returns to downtown Shreveport on Sept. 21. This year’s show is called “A Celebration of Local Artistry, Community and Creativity,” and it’s free to the public, with lots of ...

Overcoming Abuse
Cory Craig finds new life as a music instructor
by Tony Taglavore
Periodically, 318 Forum’s Tony Taglavore takes to lunch a local person — well-known, successful and/or influential — and asks, “What’s Your Story?”
The abuse.
“My 3-year-old brother ran up the stairs. My dad chased him. Then I heard beatings and beatings. It was like a drum. It just kept going. My brother was screaming and crying. Eventually, the screaming and crying stopped, but the beating didn’t. I got scared and ran upstairs. My dad had cornered my brother in a closet and was just whaling away. I started screaming, ‘Dad, stop. Stop!’ He comes up to me, grabs me by the neck and pulls me up the stairs. He said, ‘You want me to do this to you?’ I did everything I could to say, ‘No.’ He threw me down the stairs.”
The neglect. “(My parents) weren’t really good at managing their money and making sure we had food, so a lot of our meals were cereal or noodles. Me and my older sister would cook it. We always had a good meal once a month when the food stamps came in. We had food for a couple of days. But the rest of the month, we had to fend for ourselves.”
The bullying. “We were constantly pushed down. (Kids) would play stupid games where they would spit on their hands, and they would chase us to tag us. They would play another game where they would tag us and then quickly tag someone else and tell them, ‘You have a disease now.’ I hated school.”
For her first 10 years on earth, she never had a chance.
“Kids like me don’t turn out OK. Statistically, I should be homeless, a pr******te or incarcerated.”
But she is none of those. She has a degree in ... Read more at https://npaper-wehaa.com/forum-news #2024/09/18/?article=4256055 Like and Share
