|
| |
| |
Meet Eric Dexter, the Vice President of Civic Leadership Initiatives at the Baton Rouge Area Foundation (BRAF), a dedicated leader with a profound commitment to the betterment of Baton Rouge. Currently serving as the Chairman of the DDD Board of Commissioners, Eric's leadership since 2016 reflects his unwavering dedication to the mission and vision of a thriving Baton Rouge.
As we gear up for the holiday season, we asked Eric about his favorite festive traditions and experiences in Downtown Baton Rouge. Here's what he shared: "My favorite holiday tradition in Downtown Baton Rouge is the Festival of Lights. With the lighting of the 25-foot Christmas tree, fireworks over the Mississippi River, and ice skating in Snow Village, it's really a vibe that you can't experience in Baton Rouge any other time of the year." |
