About me:

EASTER PARADE APRIL 4!

Come and join us for our 3rd Annual Easter Parade on Sunday, April 4, lineup at Poland Ave neutral ground 1:00, 2:00 we roll! Our theme is "Amen to Dat!" in honor of our glorious Saints and the glorious year we are having.

Grand Marshall this year is Tee Eva, of Tee Eva's Famous Pralines, who will roll with the Baby Dolls. She will be joined by the Goodchildren Band, Pyrates, Bunarchy/Noomoon, the Navy Brass Band, artists, community groups and residents. Our route is St. Claude, from Poland Ave to Marigny St. Libations will be available at fine neighborhood establishments post-parade.

We will again have our signature throws of decorated dolls, as well as creative and imaginative throws from everyone -- look for an especially sweet treat from Tee Eva!

The LSPCA and the City of New Orleans join us in asking that everyone refrain from bringing dogs to the parade, for the comfort and safety of all, most especially our dog friends.

On Good Friday, we will reprise our popular Jesus Christ Superstar karaoke at the HiHo beginning at 7:00, followed by rousing live music from Pyrates! UK and interludes by DJ Barbie. Raffle drawing will be from 11:30 to midnight -- see the slide show below for a preview of our super prizes! There will be a late show, too -- with Alex McMurray and Rev. Spooky -- at midnight!

We still need a bit more to meet our financial needs -- any amount helps! Go through our PayPal widget on this page, or contact us at goodchildrencarnivalclub@yahoo.com.

Dukes of Debris could also use some volunteer to help us clean up after ourselves as we roll. Let us know if you are interested!

Special thanks to our sponsors and major donors this year: Bywater Neighborhood Association, Faubourg Marigny Improvement Association, AllWays Lounge/Marigny Theater, the Marianites of Holy Angels, the Fringe Festival, Dan of Noomoon, Allison of Krewe of Brid, the Renaissance Project, and Stephen Joseph.

So put on your bunny ears, recycle your Mardi Gras costume, drape yourself in spring flowers -- come out and roll on St. Claude! Amen to Dat!
