Mardi Gras was first brought to Mobile, AL by the French people. It is now celebrated in many towns on the Gulf Coast. Beads were thrown to the crowd to get them excited and involved in the celebration. Over the years boxes of "Cracker Jacks" were also thrown, but the corners of the boxes caused too many injuries. "Moon pies" became a safer and cheap alternative.
While attending the local parade, we caught lots of beads and we both caught a "Moon pie". This was a big event, last year they estimated 80,000 people attended.

So, what does a Mardi Gras celebration consist of???
"Many people- some very different!!"
"Music"
"Food"
"Costumes"
"Floats"
"And Beads, lots of Beads!!!"
