Let the fun and madness begin!
Time sure flies by when you are having fun. Just as we pack up all the Christmas decorations and try to maintain our New Year’s resolutions, along comes carnival season. The craziness and fun of Mardi Gras starts early this year. In fact, the first parade in St. Tammany Parish, and almost anywhere else in the metro area, is Sunday. The Krewe of Claude in Slidell is traditionally the first parade of the carnival season, and when they roll, you know it’s time to go into the garage and dust off the special Mardi Gras ladder you built for watching parades. This is a great time in our area, and few other communities in the country get to experience the fun and pageantry of Mardi Gras. Carnival season is a time to let loose and have some fun, dress up in a crazy costume, and revel in the camaraderie that is the carnival season.
