At least we have king cake!
The Mardi Gras season is coming to an end and for Louisiana, it has definitely been a quiet cold season. No parades, barn dances, or large pots of gumbo being shared crowds of people. The pandemic is continuing to linger canceling high-risk events. There are a few celebrations still happening. If you are interested in venturing out, check out this list from KATC.
