Are You In the Money?

HRA is sponsoring an informational meeting on the Haynesville Shale on Wednesday, August 13 at the Kings Highway Christian Church. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m.

In the meantime, KTBS has an interesting special on the Haynesville Shale. If you don't want to wait for it to be on TV again you can catch it on their website. On that same web page there's tons of information on the Haynesville Shale and what you need to know as a Highland property owner.

Half way to Mardi Gras

Got your costume or float ready for the 2009 Krewe of Highland Mardi Gras Parade? It rolls through the streets on February 22. Parade founder Matthew Linn says the event is always the Sunday before Fat Tuesday.

We'll leave you with this cool bit of Mardi Gras 2008 on YouTube from Trudeau, creator of the Blanc et Noir Marching Society.

Party Pics

If you missed Saturday's reception at the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum you have until July 31 to see the Highland's Historic Bungalows exhibit. The big food hit at the party? Tasty cookies from Lila's Cakes and Chocolates on Olive Street.

Can't make it to the show before it ends? You can see the photos on James Eakin's website.

Celebrating the Bungalow!

This Saturday, July 12, is the opening reception for the Highland's Historic Bungalows show at the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, 3201 Centenary Blvd. The photos are by Highland resident James Eakin.

Plan to mix and mingle from 1-3. It promises to be swell party since it was standing room only at the last HRA event.

Davidson-Bradbury House

Built in 1893, this Queen Anne house was the home of historian Max Bradbury and his wife Margaret. He was the founder of the North Louisiana Historical Association.

You can find out more about about this home on Wichita in the new HRA tour guide.
