Bossier at 100
Bossier City is turning 100 years old and to mark the occasion, the city will embark on a yearlong celebration starting with a kickoff event at 6:30 p.m. April 7 at the Louisiana Boardwalk.
Pam Glorioso, who is chairing the celebration, said the most interesting person she has met while preparing for the event is Col. Neill Yarborough. Glorioso said Yarborough, 91, has been selected as the oldest living Bossier City man for the centennial. “He is a very colorful and interesting man, who has lived and seen Bossier City grow from being a young child,” she said.
Glorioso said there are approximately 10 events on the centennial calendar but the list will be amended throughout the year.
