Be a Fan of Shreveport-Bossier is a project of the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau and the Shreveport-Bossier Attractions Association. Brandy Evans, Vice President of Communications for the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau, explains how they came up with the name for the project.

“We wanted to create something that was like a rally cry, ‘Be a fan of Shreveport-Bossier.’”

Bossier City has several businesses and attractions that are participating in the month. Chocolate Crocodile owner, Jim Ragon, is offering customers 40 percent off on purchases up to $50 when you mention, “Be a Fan.”

“We have been a part of the SB community for 13 years,” Ragon said. “We love and are very proud of being a part of the community and we want everyone to know the great things about Shreveport and Bossier. Being part of Be a Fan is an exciting opportunity for us and we want to share that with everyone by providing a special discount.”
