The Shadow Barons was founded in 1999 in Daphne. The name honors The Baron de Feriet, a career officer in Napoleon’s military who nearing retirement, purchased Ecor Rouge, most of what is now known as Montrose. The organization’s crest, colors and costumes pay homage to The Baron. This year’s theme was “Dance the Night Away.” Members and guests danced the night away with live music by The Molly Ringwalds and Even Odds Band.
