Mardi Gras season is upon us again!!!
Although Fat Tuesday isn't until February 21st the celebrations are already kicking into high gear...
The theme was Courir de Mardi Gras this year. Courir de Mardi Gras is a traditional Cajun Mardi Gras event held in many communities in South Louisiana the day before Ash Wednesday (Fat Tuesday!).
During this celebration
drinks and food are served heavily, as attendees arrive dressed in specialized costumes,
supposedly to protect their identities.
There is also a chicken run!!!
Luckily for the local chickens, the ball organizers opted for a man in a
chicken suit instead of a live fowl but the symbolism was there and the
costumes were great!
(…Oh, did I mention the
dancing??? That was excellent too!)
...and the count down to Fat Tuesday begins!
