Thursday, February 11, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Baton Rouge, LA at the Baton Rouge River Center. The event is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM CST.
As the "Capital City", Baton Rouge is the political hub for Louisiana, and is the second-largest metropolitan city in the state, with an estimated population of 228,895 as of 2014. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, had a population of 820,159 people as of 2013.The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
HOW DID BATON ROUGE GET ITS NAME?
The French name le baton rouge ("the red stick") is the translation of a native term rendered as Istrouma, possibly a corruption of the Choctaw iti humma ("red pole") Andre Joseph Penicaut, a carpenter traveling with d'Iberville, published the first full-length account of the expedition in 1723. According to Penicaut,
"From there [Manchacq] we went five leagues higher and found very high banks called ecorts in that region, and in savage called Istrouma which means red stick [baton rouge], as at this place there is a post painted red that the savages have sunk there to mark the land line between the two nations, namely: the land of the Bayagoulas which they were leaving and the land of another nation—thirty leagues upstream from the baton rouge named the Oumas."

At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.
Well Trump should definitely add it to his repotoire.
You bet. If I get the notice, I’ll ping you.
LOL....LOL...LOL
Guess we need to wait until after the Nov. election. There’s a chance — small — that we won’t want to celebrating. It will depend on how badly the Democrats cheat.
My fox 10 is freezing up aaaaaà rrrgggh.
Thanks for the tip on airline tickets!
It was snowing when we came out from the Ball. The next morning the Washington mall was covered with fresh snow. It seemed like the country had been cleansed after the previous 8 years. There was not trash anywhere to be seen as well.

Mocking Bush! Trump says “I don’t care about labels. I’m guy with common sense that’s going to make us a fortune and get rid of the debt.”
