Fairfield Historic District PETAPALOOZA!
The Fairfield Historic District Association, along with Centerpoint Energy and Brookshire's, will host the first ever historic pet walk through the district. This walk will give people throughout the Shreveport-Bossier City area the opportunity to meet other lovers of history and animals. Pet owners can dress their furry friends in Halloween costumes. The walk will feature century-old homes. Proceeds from the walk will benefit Robinson's Rescue. Stay tuned for more details.
Highland Parade
The FHDA was well-represented in this past year's Highland Mardi Gras parade, thanks to Geosearch Logging, Inc. Cruising in a vintage 1945 fire truck, the board of directors were able to throw beads, candy, and other special treats to the thousands of people who lined the streets of Highland.
Sign Topper Project
Thanks to a grant from Shreveport's Neighborhood Improvement Program, many streets throughout the Fairfield Historic District now bear sign toppers indicating the District's name. The goal of this project was to help define the boundaries of the Fairfield Historic District while raising awareness of the area’s historical significance. We could not be more happy with the results and look forward to seeing more signs throughout the District in the near future. The FHDA would like to offer sincere thanks to Shreveport's Department of Traffic Engineering for the assistance.
Crape Myrtle Project
We have just planted several crape myrtles in the Boulevard median and a few common ground areas, and we are currently getting ready to plant several more in approved common grounds throughout the district. If you live in the district and you are interested in receiving crape myrtle trees and pledge to water and take care of them, please email your request to fhda@fairfieldhistoricdistrict.org. We're looking forward to delineating the district with beautiful crape myrtles, a small tree commonly found in the South's historic districts.
