Shreveport Welcomes a Warm Day Ahead of the State Fair
SHREVEPORT, La. – It’s a delightful, warm day here in Shreveport! With a high of 81°F and a soft southeastern breeze blowing between 5 to 10 mph, it feels like a perfect day to venture outdoors. If you’re looking up at the sky, you can expect a mix of sunshine and clouds bringing a bit of refreshing warmth — not too hot and not too cold. The perfect recipe for a fun-filled day!
State Fair of Louisiana Delayed Opening
In the spirit of keeping things fun, today is particularly exciting because it marks the day of the State Fair of Louisiana.
However, due to the weather, the fair has adjusted its opening time to 1 p.m. Don’t worry, though; all scheduled livestock shows will continue as planned. So, if you are an animal lover, you can still expect to see those adorable farm friends!
For those planning to join the festivities in the afternoon, remember that if you arrive after 3 p.m., admission is just $3. Also, don’t forget that rides are similarly priced at $3 each. What a deal! Plus, if you’re driving, parking during the entire run of the fair is free — a small perk that everyone surely appreciates.
A Heartfelt Gesture by Community Coffee
In other local news, we saw a lovely honor bestowed upon a teacher from South Highlands Elementary. The family-owned business, Community Coffee, recognized the teacher for her unwavering commitment to her students and the community.
It’s heartwarming to see the impact of dedicated educators, and it’s gestures like these that remind us how much we value the hard work of those shaping young minds. A big shoutout to this teacher for her contributions!
Community News Takeaways
On a more serious note, it seems like Bossier City faced some unexpected drama lately. A group of self-proclaimed “predator hunters,” including Antonio Coleman, Kataurio Grigsby, and a young woman named India Gray, found themselves in some trouble. They were arrested for armed robbery after allegedly robbing a man. It’s a reminder that while we have many positive happenings in the community, challenges and dangers do exist. We all need to stay vigilant!

Back to the weather, don’t let the warm temperatures fool you; tonight is expected to be a comfortable 66°F with light and variable winds. So, whether you’re heading to the fair or enjoying a nice evening walk, it sounds like the weather will support your plans.
