Locally, businesses like the Shreveport Aquarium work with visually impaired people from this program, and even sell artwork produced by folks from another program run by the LAB.
Kingston Elementary 4th graders have made history. They are the first school group to visit Shreveport's new aquarium. They got a peak inside the brand new attraction on Shreveport's Riverfront.
Many of the pieces were headed for the auction block or trash heap, but the Aquarium worked out a deal to recycle a number of pieces for use in the building.
Since the Shreveport Aquarium announced it's arrival to downtown Shreveport, they've made a big splash. However, they're attempting the biggest splash yet this weekend at the Krewe of Centaur parade.
