Where else would you like to spend Mardi Gras than the city that invented the PARTY. If you watched the NFC Championship game you would have seen the scene on Bourbon Street after the game where tens of thousands of people came to celebrate. The first weekend of Mardi Gras brings us the Krewe of Barkus parade rolling through the French Quarter starting at 1:00 PM. Following that we will all turn to our favorite bar with a television and watch as our Saints go marching into the Superbowl. If you think the NFC Championship was a party, you ain't seen nothing yet. There will be as many people coming to the Big Easy as there will be going to Miami because the party will be here. The following week the big party begins in celebration of Fat Tuesday, February 16. There are parades, balls and, of course, lots of food to be had. This is a party like no other and everyone should come at least once in their life. |

Mascara 2009 is now in the history books. It was a great weekend and everyone who participated praised the good time that they had. From the Hamster Derby on Friday to the Ravioli Wrestling on Saturday to the Crawfish Boil on Sunday and ending with the BIG race on Monday, the events were well attended. The Ravioli Wrestling brought out the gag reflex in a lot of viewers, but they all admitted to loving it. The Mascara race was run by eleven participants, the most in the ten year history of the event. The winner for best time was Karbin from the Ninth Circle. Best Drag went to Darrin from the 700 Club, Most Money Collected ($1670) went to Cha Cha from Rawhide, Ms Mascara went to Joe from Oz, and the Ken GrandPre' Award for Worst Drag went to Mark who was running for Glazers of Louisiana. A big thanks goes out to everyone who participated and who donated. The weekend raised $8629.62 all of which went to the NOCCA Institute. |
