DC Mardi Gras main event hot ticket

The annual Washington Mardi Gras Ball of The Mystick Krewe of Louisianians was held on Saturday, February 10, 2007. Hurricane Katrina remembrances kicked off the "There's No Place Like Home" theme which brought in groups to fill the Hilton Washington main ballroom. U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) served as ball chairman offering opening remarks. Floats circled the floor after royalty laced with political figures were presented.
