We attended the Mardi Gras parade held in downtown Asheville this past Sunday before we left for Hillsborough. There was a lot of standing around waiting at the street corner for the fun to start, and many conversations among the spectators about where the route would go. It was not a big deal parade like the one at Christmas, but it was spirited nonetheless. I do think there were more people who turned out to catch a glimpse of the "freaks" and the costumes than there were paraders, but that's okay. Susan took this photo of the dancing girls leading it on. Early February is a little cold for those outfits, but they sure got into the music.
Happy Mardi Gras!
