“Shaken Not Stirred,” Christmas in the Sky Fundraiser

After two years of preparation, “the” event of Northern Louisiana, “Christmas in the Sky,” came to life in the form of 4 floors elaborately decorated in 55 years of the James Bond nuance and culture.

The Red Carpet was rolled out, while Paparazzi and local news journalists speed-clicked their cameras at some of Louisiana’s biggest names, artists and philanthropists.

“Christmas in the Sky” is an event Fundraiser put on by the the Shreveport Regional Arts Council (SRAC), a private foundation, described as “the catalyst for arts development in Northwest Louisiana.”

“Christmas in the Sky” is SRAC’s biggest and most renowned event, occurring every two years. This year they transformed Harrah’s Louisiana Downs Casino & Racetrack into an unforgettable, surreal shrine to the 55 years of the very debonair, James Bond.

The event was amazing.
