EVENT PICS: Krewe of Harambee Parade

I know I'm late with these but it's been a rough week for your girl (tune in to my revived blog to find out about it later this weekend).

This past Monday, Caddo schools and city workers (and some other fortunate people) had the day off for the MLK holiday, and most converged in downtown Shreveport for the annual Krewe of Harambee parade (which doubles as the MLK Day Parade).

Check out some shots from the parade below (photos by Val Horvath/The Times):

See more photos from the parade HERE.

FYI: The Krewe of Centaur Parade is Saturday, February 6th and Krewe of Gemini Parade is February 13th (click the respective Krewes to get linked to their info). Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) is February 16th. You can get all your info about Mardi Gras in New Orleans HERE.

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!!!
