CHALMETTE, La. (WGNO)— Some Chalmette students got to experience Mardi Gras in full effect with a parade of their own.
On Thursday (Feb. 16), students and staff at Our Lady of Prompt Succor held a Mardi Gras ball and parade. The children walked with their hand-decorated floats and wagons, tossing beads and trinkets to parents and teachers along the route.
One little girl says she got to ride in the float of her dreams, a pink shrimp boat built by her grandfather, who builds boats for a living.
