2005 Mardi Gras Pictures
| Photos of Mermentau's 11th Annual
Krewe de Feux Mardi Gras Run, benefiting St. John the
Evangelist Catholic Church, were taken in Estherwood on
Highway 90 about 9:15 a.m., where the Mardi Gras stopped
traffic and danced the freeze, and at the ball park in Estherwood. If the Mardi Gras head toward you the way you
see at right, be prepared to give them something in exchange
for some beads or suffer the consequences. However, as
the photos below show, children who gave were still subject
to being swooped up and carried off. The co-captaines were
at least able to maintain enough control to prevent heavy
objects like newspaper vending machines from being carted
off. But don't ride your bike to see the Mardi Gras unless
you want them to ride off on it.
