Jamboree and Other Events at Bossier Schools This Week

If you grew up going to school in Bossier Parish, the one event that truly signaled the coming of fall was the Bossier Parish Lions Club Jamboree! There's nothing like Friday night lights and high school football in Louisiana. I have fond memories as a middle school student of going to Jamboree and sliding down the back hill at Airline High School's football field and later as a high school student, hanging with my friends, performing between games and checking out boys from other schools!
