Mardi Gras float construction: Day 2

We arrived around 7:30 am on Saturday morning to see the decorations on the float were completely trashed with the wind.  We had to act fast - we were expected at the float staging area at 9:30 am.

When we left the float, it was in good condition for everyone on the decorating committee:

When we arrived, yikes:

Trashed float

Luckily, I had my staple gun with me and we were able to salvage some of the float’s decorations.  With float in tow, we made our way down to the staging area and participated in one of the largest Mardi Gras celebrations in the United States.
