The festival hours of operation are 11am - 10pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 11am - 9pm Sunday through Wednesday. For more detailed information, click here. The Revel also features tons of activities for kids! Some of my fondest memories of elementary school include our yearly field trips to the Revel where we got our faces painted, made sand art, etc...

Later, as a member of different school organizations, I got to be on the other side and paint faces! Those poor kids! I could barely manage a rainbow! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Red River Quilters. My mother is a member and will have several quilts on display this weekend, including one she made especially for me! The quilt show starts this Friday and runs through Sunday at Riverview Hall, 600 Clyde Fant Parkway. Admission is just $5 and your admission is included in your Revel ticket Saturday and Sunday. This year, the quilters are honoring our military men and women, past and present, and especially those of Barksdale Air Force Base. Make sure you stop by, check out the amazing artwork and see how the 'crafty' gene skipped a generation!
