October 19, 2011 Get your drink on for a good cause with the Krewe of Atlas... help raise funds for the dog park at Hamel's Memorial Park Saturday, November 5th 7-10pm at the Barnwell Center. Check this out... all of the beer and wines you'll be tasting feature an animal on the label!
October 3, 2011 In their traditional, non-traditional way, the Krewe of Atlas revealed their royalty for the upcoming 2012 Mardi Gras season with much fun and frivolity Saturday night at the American Legion in Shreveport. The Krewe of Atlas, known for it's diversity, hosted the Island of Shipwrecked Fools themed Coronation, where yours truly was crowned the Duchess of Lagniappe IV along hubby Keith, who isn't a duchess of course, he's the Duke of Lagniappe IV... Even though he looks quite nice in eyeliner!
September 30, 2011 Ain't no party like an Atlas party and the Krewe of Atlas is going to be throwing down tomorrow night starting at 7pm at the American Legion. The Royalty Presentation begins at 8pm!
September 22, 2011 Actress Halle Berry is recovering after breaking her foot while shooting a movie in Spain.
September 12, 2011 Until I got involved with Mardi Gras locally, I didn't know there were literally events year round! Get in the Mardi Gras spirit and Let The Good Times Roll at any of these local events!
August 29, 2011 I had a BLAST at the Gemini Coronation this past Saturday night even though it was kinda of bittersweet because my brother-on-law passed on the Captain-ship (sp??) of Gemini. Both he and his lovely wife Jolene did an amazing job for the Krewe in the past year.

Here's the latest list of Mardi Gras events courtesy of Captain of Captains Doug Kochenderfer. Yes, we do have Mardi Gras in August... except I don't like to wear as many beads because they get hot, then you sweat and your neck turns green and purple;)
July 29, 2011 Every once in a while, people from outside of Louisiana ask me why we have Mardi Gras events in July. They think Mardi Gras is a week in the Spring before Lent. And it is, after a fashion... But we crazy people in the Bayou state celebrate all year long with soirees, Coronations, Bals, fund raisers to help our community, Flotilla and more!
