Krewe of Akewa Grand Bal (PICS)
The Krewe of Akewa Grand Bal was Friday night and Keith and I had a blast! They held it Friday night at Harrah's Louisiana Downs with entertainment by Soul Circus. The ladies put on a show with the theme Hollywood South! They really rolled out the red carpet! I hope you enjoy the pics! I've listed the latest calendar of events from Captain of Captains Doug Kochenderfer below the picture gallery!
