SonC's Mardi Gras 2001 Parade . . . Behind the Scenes

You'll find the Mardi Gras Ladder with a seat at every parade. The goal isn't to admire the artistic accomplishments of the parade designers, but to see how many cheap beads, Frisbees, and other throws your kids can catch from members of the krewes (riders) of each parade. In the New Orleans Area, Mardi Gras Ladders are stock items at most hardware stores.
