Mardis Gras parade in Ocean Springs MS

Temporary FWS tattoo 

 On January 26, 2013 I was able to participate in the Ocean Springs, MS Mardi Gras parade with a group of people from Mississippi Sandhill Crane NWR.  Our float was a truck and trailer decorated with banners and MS crane decoys and loaded down with beads and many other interesting things that we got to throw to the crowd. It was a very interesting day, the crowd was very into catching everything we were throwing, I tried to throw to the kids, but there were adults that would grab stuff before the kids could get it, it was crazy! We were throwing out reusable bag that people wanted so bad they would grab them from us before we could throw them and a lot of people thought they were t-shirts or beer cozies. Overall it was a very fun and enlightening day!
