But now that we're learning more and more about the right ways to host events with safety measures in place, we're starting to see more events popping up. Including some cool events on the way in our area.

This Saturday (October 3rd) Excalibur Comics on East 70th in Shreveport will be hosting comic book legend Michael Golden! He will be appearing from 12p-5p at the store, where all state safety measures, including mandatory masks, will be in place.
