Behind the Theme: CROONING WITH A GOOD NEIGHBOR
State Farm originated in 1922 during the Frank Sinatra days when Crooners were especially popular. This cove theme brings in a new Billings business featuring crooner-style entertainment and celebrates the roaring '20s.
Meet the REVEL Artist
Louis Habeck was born and currently resides in Billings, MT. He graduated from The University of Montana in 2011 receiving a Bachelor of Fine Art degree with an emphasis in photography; however, his body of work reveals his abilities as an interdisciplinary artist.
Louis' interest and expertise over the last decade as a portrait photographer came from assisting and studying from Andrew Habeck– his fashion photographer Uncle who currently lives in Barcelona.

Inside the Cove
The Crooning with a Good Neighbor Cove aims to take its guests back to the days when crooners were especially popular. In this cove, everything from the showgirls and crooner to the tastes and smells that hearken the days of prohibition, will take its guests back to the roaring '20s.
Talk about being a good neighbor, co-sponsor Sean O'Daniel donates $10 to a new (local) non-profit for every quote he gives. Indeed State Farm is founded on this principal of being a good neighbor and is considered to be the premier insurance company in the nation. O'Daniel notes, "Customer service is our top priority and this is what you'll get with this Cove."
Team State Farm's Cove will further their good neighbor status by sending their crooner and showgirls to share REVEL entertainment to their Cove neighbors and general admission tables.
Inside the Crooning with a Good Neighbor Cove, the colors will run silver, grey, and black with splashes of the State Farm red.
But, when all is said and done, they hope that their guests will have enjoyed every aspect of their senses' dazzling experience and leave feeling as though they were transported back to the roaring '20s. "From design of the Cove to the service and quality of the meal provided, this will be something they will talk about for years."
