It’s all about relationships, and any time we can have one of our suppliers come in to our agency and share updates about what they’re doing is another opportunity to build on that relationship. A big thanks to Adrian Weekly with Project Expedition for coming in on Friday and sharing with our staff and outside advisors. We learned a lot and we’re excited about what PE can help us offer to our clients when it comes to curated experiences!

An update from BTR…. New Orleans International also has the potential for more canceled flights on Thursday. Check in with your airline to see what the status is before attempting to go to the airport.

From Baton Rouge Airport…

As of 11:43 a.m. on Wednesday, the airfield remains closed to all aircraft except for emergency helicopter operations due to heavy snow and ice on most surfaces. The airfield closure remains in effect until 6:00 p.m.. This could be extended if conditions are deemed unsafe. However, our Airport Operations and Airport Maintenance personnel, with the assistance of two DOTD motor graders, are working diligently to clear Runway 13-31 and the primary taxiways to reopen the airfield as soon as possible.

❄️ This is "Sneaux" Crazy!❄️

Y’all, a SNOWSTORM is hitting South Louisiana. Yes, you read that right. We’re not sure if we should stock up on bread and milk or dig out ski gear we don’t own. ⛄️

Because of this winter "wonderland" we're about to experience, we’ll be CLOSED Tuesday, 1/20, and possibly Wednesday. While you’re stuck inside watching snowflakes fall on your gumbo, why not plan a trip to somewhere that’s… not frozen? 🏝️

🌴 Imagine:
✔️ Warm sand instead of icy driveways
✔️ Flip-flops over fuzzy socks
✔️ Drinks with umbrellas, not space heaters

We’ll be back (once we thaw out) to help make that dream a reality. And we'll be posting some ideas while we're all hunkered down in our houses, so be sure to check back here in between your snack breaks. Until then, stay warm, y’all! ❄️✨
