As a way to show our unending gratitude and appreciation for the men and women of the United States National Guard and the Louisiana National Guard who used the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center as a base of operations after Hurricane Ida impacted the region, we – along with our friends at Kern Studios – hosted a one-of-a-kind, New Orleans-style parade that these great service-members won’t soon forget!
For some out-of-state service-members, this was their first time seeing a Mardi Gras float, generously provided by Barry Kern and Kern Studios, in person! We are tremendously grateful for this unique opportunity to show our appreciation for our friends in the National Guard who are helping this region recover after Hurricane Ida.
