Great Times at Cajun Mardi Gras! (+Video)

Mamou, LA — So you think you know Mardi Gras? Boobs, beads, and Bourbon Street, right?

Check out my video for a look at a traditional Courier de Mardi Gras (a traditional Fat Tuesday run), and some drinking and dancing with the inimitable “Tante Sue” at Fred’s Lounge in Mamou!
