Floral Parade

LOTS OF ACTION DOWNTOWN TODAY!
FOUR PARADES ROLLED DOWN ROUTE
"A"
TODAY, STARTING WITH THE FLORAL
PARADE AND KNIGHTS OF MOBILE,
MOBILE MYSTIC
LADIES AND ORDER OF ANGELS. I
WENT TO
CHECK THINGS OUT AND I MET TWO
INTERESTING PEOPLE---A SEASONED
VETERAN AND A NOVICE.
ROAMING THE PARADE ROUTE, I
FOUND JULIANNA O'BAR SITTING IN
A CHAIR DECKED OUT IN A MASK AND
A
PRETTY GROOVY UMBRELLA.
THINKING SHE WAS A SEASONED
REVELER, I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND
OUT THIS WAS HER VERY FIRST
MARDI
GRAS PARADE.
SUPER: Julianna O'BAr
"I've been told that people are
going to
throw things at me and I need to
catch them! I've heard something
about
moon pies, but I don't know if
those are actually thrown, if
they are, that's going to be
interesting!" says O'Bar.
SHE AND HER FRIEND, CARRIE
JENKINS CAUGHT ON QUICK THOUGH
ONCE THE PARADE STARTED ROLLING!
THEIR FIRST CATCH-MOON PIES!
AFTER COLLECTING A SCARF OF
BEADS, O'BAR HIT THE JACKPOT,
CATCHING A HUGE STUFFED TEDDY
BEAR.
"So much fun! It was a little
different than I
had originally thought it was
going to
be.may have accidentally elbowed
my friend a couple of times!"
says O'Bar.
BUT ELBOWS ARE ALL PART OF THE
GAME HERE, UNLESS YOU'RE THIS
GUY!
SUPER: Jim Fulford
"Well, it's a New Orleans thing
if you
did Mardi Gras in New Orleans
you'd see
these ladders lined up side by
side and
there's rules and regulations
and all that
stuff," says Jim Fulford.

CUSTOM-MADE
