NEW ORLEANS (WGNO)–The popular Krewe of Chewbacchus has become one of the biggest draws of the Mardi Gras season, with its irreverent, sci-fi themed parades. Now the 2,500 member-strong krewe is offering some families a spot in its parade thanks to a grant from the Arts Council of New Orleans.
The krewe will provide wheelchair costumes for nine children, and give their families a spot as guests of the Chewbacchus in their parade Saturday, Feb. 18.
