It’s Mardi Gras season, and the festivities will be in full swing this Saturday in Prairie du Rocher.
The day will kick off at 9 a.m. with a 5K and a fun run/walk. Both will start and end at the American Legion. Participants will have the chance to receive some fun awards and wear their favorite (family-friendly) Mardi Gras costume.
Registration and additional information is available online at: https://sites.google.com/view/ pdrruns.
The float and vehicle parade will kick off at 11 a.m. The route will go down Main Street to Market Street and then Henry Street.
Line up will begin at 10:15 a.m. between the Catholic church and the school.
