Holiday in Dixie will always be special to me. I've got a lot of memories connected to it. One of my favorite is from high school. My friend Christine and I were both excited for our very first prom! She was a freshman and I was a sophomore at Haughton High School and the two cutest boys asked us to go... to the AIRLINE PROM!!! We thought we were big stuff! We planned our dresses and shoes and hair and make up ad naseum and then the day finally arrived. We got ready with butterflies in our stomachs and our dates arrived to pick us up. I'm not going to give their names to protect the 'innocent.' I'm sure their wives or girlfriends or significant others would just love to have their man called out in a radio station blog even though we all went together as friends. Ok, enough of that, on with the story! The prom was being held at the University Club, where you have a great view of the Shreveport riverfront... That's where Holiday in Dixie was back in the day... this was before the casinos... I should be careful before I date myself to closely! lol Seriously, I remember looking out of those top floor windows and thinking that it was something out of a movie. I had the dress and the cute boy and the fancy dance AND the festival all lit up below me. I felt like a princess... and that's why I will always be fond of Holiday in Dixie and here's hoping you'll find your own Holiday in Dixie moment this year. Below, I've listed everything you could possibly need for this year's festival. And, if there's something I missed by some slight chance, I've got a link to the festival page.
