Former Host of KFGO's Metro Arts Scene MeLissa Kossick Anderson gives us the 2020 update from Mardi Gras in New Orleans. She along with her husband and young daughter live right on a portion of the parade route. 

What is Mardi Gras? What goes into the preparation and design of the floats? What the heck is a Krewe? There's a lot more to the "beads story" than you think. How many crayfish could a person eat anyway?

Would you believe school is closed the entire week for Mardi Gras?

All these questions answer and more with MeLissa on the Mighty  790 KFGO's Nighttime Live!
