Tonight! Rain or shine at Historic BK House & Gardens!!
Come support our Joan of Arc Project supporters George Corey & Cynthia Kruse (aka The Artist Cleo) who recently published a young adult mystery about Joanie on the Pony!
“Pint-size super sleuths Georgie and GiGi are back! In this exciting follow-up to The Mardi Gras Mystery and The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, G and G are once again magically transported to New Orleans. This time, they are called on to help track down the missing "Joanie on the Pony" statue before the city's annual Joan of Arc Parade is ruined.”
