Local Mardi Gras activities are 'few and far between' By John Clanton Staff Writer
Mardi Gras may mean food, dancing, lights and fun to people living in New Orleans, but Mardi Gras activities in the Edmond area were few and far between. The French Club at UCO held their Mardi Gras celebration Tuesday night. They served King Cake, listened to Cajun music, watched the video from last years' party and played, said Monica Treece, French Club president. Not only did the University not have anything planned, there were no festivities planned for the City of Edmond, said a spokesperson for the Edmond Chamber of Commerce. Citizens of Norman however, celebrated the Mardi Gras holiday with the second annual Mardi Gras Parade and the crowning of the king and queen. Thom Renbarger was crowned King Alfalfa Joe Bob
Rubarb and Jennifer Robertson was crowned Queen Barbarella Pandora Dubois. The king and queen, dressed in 18th century French costumes, were seated on "thrones," which were toilets donated by a local plumbing shop. The parade, a 12 section procession, included a high and low jester, clowns, a dragon, a band and five floats. Participants in the parade threw necklaces, plastic coins and toys to the children who eagerly scooped up the prizes. The parade started on Main street and covered one city block. Originally slated to parade around the block three times, the procession completed two laps and then moved to the old Norman Depot. After the parade, the crowd packed themselves into the depot for a Mardi Gras Party and the King's Royal Proclamation.
