Mardi Gras

We don't partake a lot of the Fat Tuesday celebration in Wyoming outside of a church pancake supper or a King cake being baked, but with Mardi Gras in full swing in the Big Easy, a picture could still be worth a thousand words.

Here we are, it's Fat Tuesday and everyone is happy go lucky having a great time celebrating the final day of Mardi Gras... but tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season. But what is Lent and what exactly does it entail?

Granted, it's not the best parody I've ever heard, BUT it's still pretty good! Mainly because Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars rocked it out legit in the first place in Uptown Funk!

If you're thinking of heading to New Orleans for Spring Break for some drunken debauchery, you might want to rethink your plan!

Mardi Gras has been called the biggest party on the planet, and seeing how it originated in Europe and is still celebrated there as well as in North and South America today, it just might be the biggest party ever!

Have you ever wondered why the dates for Mardi Gras and Easter fluctuate (sometimes wildly) from year to year?

This is simply incredible! As a life long horse person, I know for a fact none of mine would have ever dealt this well with the crowds on Bourbon Street, especially during the madness that is Mardi Gras.

The age-old, and often bawdy, form of entertainment, known as "burlesque," will be landing in Casper this weekend.

To most people, it's just Tuesday, but if you've ever spent any time in the great state of Louisiana, then you know it's Mardi Gras!

There are a lot of notions on the beginnings of Mardi Gras, but what a lot of people don't realize is that it has a Catholic background.

Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras (aka Carnivale) is in full swing in New Orleans! Watch all the fun live.

This isn't just a problem for people in Louisiana anymore! It's no surprise a 'festival' featuring booze, beads and boobs would be adopted in other areas of the country, is it? Heck no!
