Help build this year’s Mardi Gras float!

Our theme this year is "The Wizard of Odd."  

We’ll put our own twist on this classic story.

The float will include an amazing Emerald Castle and the Wizard! Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion will be there along with Flying Monkeys and Glenda, the Good Witch!

You don't need to sign up, just show up.
