Wow!! What a spectacular Mardi Gras!! The  weather was beautiful,  as were the costumes and homes in the Marigny!! Our 2022 Home Decorating Contest was a huge success. I narrowed the choices down to 20, which was not easy. The judges then chose the top three, and four honorable mentions. A special thanks to Lisa Suarez at Dr Bob’s, who gave us three prizes that, along with Gift Certificates from Grand Krewe, were the first, second and third place prizes. Thanks again to our judges, winners and everyone who participated. Have a great Lent, and we hope to see you next year!
