Ok, fun piece of trivia. I marched in that parade with my Aunt's dance studio when I was 9. I was all dressed up like Polychrome the Rainbow Fairy from Oz. *grin*

It's a GOOD parade. ;-P

I may have also been walking in that parade... it was when I was in Medical Explorers (aka I got to be a boy scout)

Heh - that's so funny I need to post it to the NOLA boards!

Please do! I mean, I'm sure it'll be fun. But what's the point of a parade without throws or booze? Your town has spoiled me!

[debmats.livejournal.com]

Booze, you're out of luck, but participants will hand out candy, beads and lots of pamplets...

Ah! The rules basically said no throws. That's whay made me think of the contrast to Mardi Gras. Sorry I missed it.
