survive off the land and lived in the forest camps, known as Maroon Camps, just outside the colony fort.

Little Known Mardi Gras Facts!
Floats can costs anywhere from $65,000 to $250,000, depending on style. It isn't the material that skyrockets costs, it the highly skilled labor that it takes to create such wonders. In New Orleans, the
floats are at the maximum height and width, so they can only grow in Length. Some krewes are now just beginning to learn how to build floats on their own, in order to save money. |
