Years ago, I had the good fortune to be invited to participate in Mardi Gras runs in Basile and Elton in Louisiana’s Bayou Country, very different celebrations from the New Orleans version. In Cajun Country, the Mardi Gras comes to you, like a traveling circus!
I became good friends with the capitain of Basile’s Mardi Gras, Potic Rider. This week, you’ll meet Potic (pronounced Pot-si) in an interview recorded exclusively for Substack, along with a vibrant video of the event and a slew of programs focusing on different aspects of the tradition. Get ready for the Big Day!!
