There was a little informal meeting tonight regarding plans for Mardi Gras. In a nutshell, it looks as though we have a parade and a ball in the offing, and possibly a treasure hunt as well. The parade will probably happen the weekend before the 24th.
We need:
* floats
* a parade system and someone to manage it
* stuff to throw
* a dance pavilion
* participation by shopkeepers (esp. for a treasure hunt)
* set times—and soon, for promo
* to get the word out to other regions that might like to participate with floats
