From the lively streets of the Youngsville Mardi Gras parade to neighborhood gatherings with family and friends, our Sugar Mill Pond neighbors embraced the season right here at home. The photos capture neighbors lined along the parade route, hands in the air catching throws, dressed in festive purple, green, and gold, and little ones experiencing the magic of Mardi Gras. This year was filled with excitement and moments we’ll be talking about long after the last bead was thrown.
