Mardi Maison Gras<br />
By Jamie Lee<br />
Everyone knows that I love Mardi Gras and I am<br />
not the only one. It seems people everywhere<br />
celebrate this holiday as an excuse to drink and<br />
be merry even if they are unaware of the religious<br />
implications that surround Fat Tuesday. Mardi<br />
Gras is a grand old time!<br />
Of course this year, like most every holiday<br />
event for the last 11 months, has been altered<br />
by Covid-19 but, even the ‘the plague’ cannot<br />
douse the fiery spirit that is Mardi Gras. The New<br />
Oreleanians have come up with a way to not only<br />
“shelter at home” but to celebrate this momentous<br />
holiday in a way that honors the tradition and<br />
keeps Mardi Gras artists afloat with house floats.<br />
The Krewe of Red Beans ‘Hire a Mardi Gras Artist<br />
Program’ was started to help supplement the<br />
income of the artists that work year round on the<br />
parade floats for carnival season with the twist of<br />
your home becoming the float. Over 200 homes in<br />
the New Orleans area have signed up to benefit<br />
these artists and to keep the season alive.<br />
It has even spawned DogHouseFloats.com; a<br />
contest for our fur babies to get into the fun and<br />
decorate dog house as floats as well as a contest<br />
online.<br />
No matter what the obstacle may be, the spirit of<br />
the Carnival Season lives on in the hearts of all<br />
that cherish Mardi Gras and it’s meaning.<br />
