We checked out the Mardi Gras celebration at Victorian Square last night. We were pretty excited to see "Bourbon St." in Sparks.
Booths featuring Cajun/Creole cuisine as well as crafts lined the square. I just had to try out the humongous onion rings (see below). They practically used the whole bulb!

The celebration included a parade (Mardi Gras Procession featuring Henry Clement's Chief Takawaka & The Gumbo Band) and bead tossing. We got disappointed when we saw the actual parade though. It hardly had any people in it! We left right after it ended.

Nick scored a couple of beads.


Chief Takawaka, probabably wanting a tall cold one by now.


Chief Takawaka's minion(?). Boy, does he look upset?
