Red Cross BASH

Hundreds of guested showed up April 26 at JPS Hangar #9 for the 18th Annual Bash, hosted by the Northeast Louisiana chapter of the American Red Cross. The military-themed BASH has become a staple of the spring party scene, and this year was no exception.

Patrons dined on grilled steak and chicken provided by the folks at Outback Steakhouse. Also, visitors enjoyed libations provided by some of the area’s premier brands. Meanwhile, they took a stroll through the more than 200 items donated for the silent auction, including gift baskets, home décor items and more than a few sports packages.

Entertainment came by way of crowd favorite, Luv Sexy, one of the most popular party bands in the South. Hailing from New Orleans, Luv Sexy wowed the audience with dance numbers and party favorites from the 60s through today. And, like always, General Anne Patten was on hand to make sure people had a good time, ate plenty and showed their support for the American Red Cross.
