Mardi Gras 2k16

Mardi Gras 2k16

Leave it to Louisiana to give kids statewide a week off of school, dedicated solely to parades, partying, and other traditional Mardi Gras festivities. One thing that people particularly enjoy being a part of is the Mardi Gras balls. Many people here at Ascension are involved in the balls and have been involved for as long as they can remember. There are multiple parts and people that contribute to the production of a ball, like queens, kings, dancers, and maids and most importantly the crew who plan and prepare for all of the festivities.  All of this sounds like a great deal of fun of course, but one of the best things to a many about Mardi Gras is undoubtedly the king cake. Only during Mardi Gras is it socially acceptable to stuff a plastic baby in a round cake. We look forward to these and other Mardi Gras celebrations each year.  As it is said in south Louisiana–“Laissez lez bon temp rouler!”
