Thanks to everyone who came out for the 3rd annual Mentelle neighborhood Mardi Gras parade and celebration. We had about 100 people there, including so many adorable kids! Special thanks to Chad and Jill Walker, owners of The Warehouse Block, for bringing their 1950 Ford farm truck and their pet goat, Itty Bitty, and to Kevin Heathcoat, the owner of Bourbon & Toulouse restaurant, for his support.
Month: February 2023
Mardi Gras parade is Saturday!
Join your neighbors in the Mentelle Park median nearest Cramer Avenue tomorrow from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. for the Mentelle Neighborhood’s 3rd annual Mardi Gras Parade!
Chad Walker, owner of the Warehouse Block, is bringing an antique farm truck to give hay rides to the kids. We’re hoping for some musicians. And we’re asking neighborhood kids (and adults if they like) to decorate their bicycles and join in the parade. We will have $10 gift certificates to Graeter’s Ice Cream for three kids judged to have the best-decorated bikes. And there will be a gift certificate to Bourbon & Toulouse restaurant for the best-costumed adult in attendance.
We plan to have some coffee and cajun food to help keep you warm, and plenty of beads and masks. And, of course, king cake. See you there!
