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!
