The Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau will host the next edition of its quarterly Be a Fan of Shreveport-Bossier Ambassador Tour series, 8 a.m.-3 p.m., on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The theme of this tour is “Weird and Wonderful.” Tickets are $25 apiece and may be purchased by visiting www.eventbrite.com and searching for “Weird and Wonderful.” Limited seats are available and tickets must be purchased in advance. Admission includes transportation, a daylong guided tour of Shreveport-Bossier, and lunch at BeauxJax Crafthouse. 

Attractions visited during this installment of the quarterly tour series will include: Sci-Port Discovery Center, where the tour will get an advance look at the upcoming Sno-Port exhibit; The Strand Theatre, which will offer a backstage tour highlighting seldom-seen areas of the building; Bayou Axe Co., an axe-throwing bar; downtown Shreveport’s historic Oakland Cemetery; and more. The day will begin at 8 a.m. with a brief orientation at the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau’s Downtown Shreveport Visitor Center located at 629 Spring Street. The day will end with participants “graduating” from the Be a Fan of Shreveport-Bossier Ambassador Program and receiving an official pin and certificate.

“The ambassador program was designed to give those who work in the hospitality industry, as well as interested residents, a chance to learn more about all the tourism assets in this community,” said Brandy Evans, vice president of communications for the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau.
