All hail Arepo ball royalty

Subjects of Arepo, bow to your King Dr. Tom Siskron and Queen Libby Siskron. They were crowned Thursday at the glittery formal Krewe of Arepo Ball. Put on by Shreveport Opera and underwritten by Harrah’s Louisiana Downs, it was held in the Orleans Room at the Downs.

The Siskrons were honored for their longtime commitment to the community, including the Shreveport Opera. Libby heads up the Shreveport Opera Guild and Tom served six years on the Shreveport Symphony board. (Just two of many things they’ve done to support the community in money, time and attendance.)

The two succeeded the 2006 King PGA Golfer Hal Sutton, and longtime community volunteer, Mikey Carlisle. Sutton regretted, but Carlisle, there with hubby attorney Jack Carlisle, joked that last year, she had to shop around to find a crown to fit her head!
