The children’s Mardi Gras Krewe of
Versailles is celebrating its 41st Annual Pageant and soiree in
2015. Our King Louis Roi de Soile and Queen Infanta Marie
Therese will preside over the festivities.
The members
ride on floats in the Children’s Mardi Gras parade each year
where they throw beads and trinkets to the parade watchers. When
you ask the children which they prefer best, the parade always
seems to top the list!
After the last bead is thrown and
the children are enjoying the memories of being with friends and
dressing in costumes, the plans for the next Pageant begins with
picking the theme, designing the costumes and holding the
Royalty tea and interview to choose the next King, Queen and
Honor Court’s Lords and Ladies. New children will be added to
the krewe, some will say goodbye and our members will be looking
forward to a year of upcoming social events, revelry and making
new friends.
