Krewe of Boo

By Tess

Blaine Kern, love him or loathe him, is the creator of 90% of the Mardi Gras floats in the city and is a larger-than-life local character. He calls himself “Mr. Mardi Gras,” but in the last year he’s expanded into Halloween, creating a huge haunted house that was voted one of the top 5 in the country.

Well, this year he’s taking it one step further, creating the Krewe of Boo, a club and parade to roll on Halloween to benefit the first responders in New Orleans. They had several of the floats out on the floor when I brought our company over to Mardi Gras World, and I have to say they’re pretty cool…

About NNO

Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~

I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

So now I own a NOLA-themed shop , and am part time at the Preservation Resource Center, which works to "preserve the historic neighborhoods that make New Orleans unique." I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and play in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
