Mamou Mardi Gras Finale
February 21, 2012
In the town of Mamou, Louisiana, the Mardi Gras tradition is for the townspeople to gather on horseback very early in the morning. They start drinking Bud Light, and they go from house to house to house, chasing live chickens, and performing drunken song and dance.
In 2012, we made it to Mamou for the parade back into the town at the end of the day. There's a blog post about it at https://theskinnyonbenny.com/blog2/archives/1271
