Saturday morning, members of different area Mardi Gras krewes gathered at St. Pius X for the annual Mardi Gras Mass. The event was created by John Manno, a member of the Krewe of Gemini, more than 15 years ago.
The Mardi Gras season officially kicked off Saturday night with the 12th Night Celebration hosted by the Krewes of Centaur and Gemini at the Bossier Civic Center. But on Friday night the area royalty got the chance to let their hair down in a casual setting at the annual Royalty Mixer at the Centaur Den.
Don't get me wrong, the Krewe of Barkus and Meoux have a good time, but their mission is serious
The Krewe of Sobek was established in the Ark-La-Tex in 2003 and are celebrating their 10th year this year with the Krewe of Sobek Grand Bal X Friday, January 18th at the Shreveport Convention Center!
Time to drop off five Mardi Gras dresses to the cleaners today and get a Dryel for the rest that can't be dry cleaned, get your nails done tonight and plan to Mystic in the morning. Yep, Mardi Gras kicks off this Saturday!
Captain of Asclepius Doug Kochenderfer has been busy and has compiled the latest list of Mardi Gras activities for Krewes in the Shreveport-Bossier City. Just because it is June, doesn't mean we have to wait until January for the Mardi Party to begin.
When Summer came to a close, I decided to put my Summer clothes away, and replace them with my Winter ones. I guess I was trying to act on the relief from the heat... I don't know, but for some reason, putting my clothes in a storage facility in another town that I do NOT have a key to, seemed like a good idea at the time
Had a blast at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. We stayed at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. Our room was on the corner on the 5th floor overlooking Bourbon Street from both sides of the room. That was spectacular
Every watering hole has one: the oddball character who’s strange.
I love Mardi Gras, don't get me wrong. But we are in the part of Louisiana that THINKS they are part of Texas, until something Louisiana related happens. It's not our fault, I mean, the Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog" said it best
Next Tuesday is a big day…literally. This year, February 21st is Mardi Gras, or translated, Fat Tuesday. The day we all party down and do all kinds of sinful things before giving it all up for Lent. Yes, even the dogs.
