MARDI GRAS!!!!!!

Okay....if I have yet to explain the Mobile Mardi Gras Ball let me do that. First of all, they throw a huge party....where your local basketball or hockey team may play, this is where they throw a party. It is an all-day event because they have groups that dress in full mardi gras gear....sequins, masks, even the shoes are dyed metallic gold or whatever colors they are wearing to match their outfits. They have marching bands, floats, beads, coins...everything you need for Mardi Gras. After the parade, they have a ceremony where all the groups are introduced with the finale being the king and queen of the Ball. I have to tell you the guys are in tuxedos and the ladies are in full length gowns. It's an honor to be a part of it. You think that would be enough but then the music begins and then we dance all night. So if you want to celebrate Mardi Gras like this check it out and join one of the many organizations
....It will be worth it.......


This is a picture of the crowd and then one of the gentlemen gave us his head gear and Brenda and I wore it for part of the show....Thanks again for the Mardi Gras experience....Tobi
