HAPPY MARDI GRAS!  Hi, I'm Shelley and I am homeschooling this year.  I am in 5th grade and my favorite subjects are literature and math.  I live near New Orleans and I love Mardi Gras.  My dad is in a parade.  When I was in third grade, I was a lady-in-waiting and it was really fun.  I chose Mardi Gras as my ThinkQuest subject because I thought it would be very interesting and it was!  I hope you like the web site.

Hello, my name is Carter and I am a sixth grade homeschooler. My favorite subjects are reading and computer. I love Mardi Gras and my favorite part about it is catching beads. I was a page for the king of the krewe that my dad is in. I hope you enjoyed learning about Mardi Gras and want to come catch some beads!

We would like to thank Arthur Hardy and Arthur Hardy Enterprises, Inc. for the pictures he allowed us to use. Mr. Hardy is the author of Mardi Gras Guide and Mardi Gras in New Orleans: An Illustrated History. He is considered the foremost authority on Mardi Gras.
