Waveland Mardi GRAS Parade

by Jim on January 26, 2012

Put on your mask and join us in the Krewe of Nereids Mardi GRAS Parade in Waveland, MS! The date is Sunday, February 12. Many trikesters are heading down early to tour the area on Saturday. Check out the discussion on our Discussions Forum for more details! We will have “throws” for you to appease the onlookers with, and expect to have a huge turnout! Some folks are even selecting their trikes in Mardi GRAS colors! What a great way to support a recovering community and have fun at the same time!
