The first ever collectible parade souvenir with Grand Marshal Marty Graw & Professor Carl Nivale on it. We are deeply, lovingly honored!
Happy Carnival!!!

Tomorrow morning, after our annual early live WWL Vendredi Gras Carnival Broadcast segments, we head over to meet the Gals of Bosom Buddies & Breast Friends for breakfast and our annual march through the Quarters at 11:30 am.

So come on out, look for us and Happy Carnival! 💜💛💚

The Mystic Krewe of Barkus has opted to parade on March 9th, due to the rain inundation we face today. So there are no parades in Orleans or Jefferson Parishes today.

Sorry everyone! Sometimes rainouts happen, and at least all parades have been allowed to reschedule rather than being cancelled.

Got a Haydel's Bakery king cake today. We got the bizarre little "chicken box" for the porcelain collectible and as I cut my first piece found the plastic baby. I combined the two for a photo... I may have to build upon this idea for a full mini kresch for next Xmas.😂
Happy Carnival Y'all! 💜💛💚
