Christmas in the Sky’s bi-annual mega-gala boasted a sold-out crowd of over 2,500 tossing back libations and enjoying buffets throughout the event. A fundraiser for Shreveport Regional Arts Council, it provides funding for two years of programming and events. The theme, “Kiss A Frog,” was a hit with attendees, as were the many performers, bands and entertainers located throughout. Of course, the highlight is the live and silent auctions, and they did not disappoint.
