Since most Mardi Gras parades are canceled this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a few Youngsville residents decided to celebrate their own way.
Brandi Landry, along with some of her neighbors, helped organize a homemade parade on Saturday.
Trailers, golf carts, bikes, and pedestrians participated in the parade, which wound through Sugar Ridge subdivision.
Kids and adults alike enjoyed the celebration, which organizers called a special event for the neighborhood. Means a lot to us, especially in our neighborhood, explained Carey Leblanc. It s growing, there is a lot of people outside of the area so even for those outsiders to see our culture, it means a lot. Even if there is two floats we will be happy.
12 Buffalo, NY The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District, entered into an agreement in December 2020 with the Northwestern Water & Sewer District to provide almost $1 Million assistance toward the total costs of sanitary sewer upgrades in the Sugar Ridge/Mercer Road area of Wood County in northwest Ohio.
The new wastewater collection system will protect surface water quality and address unsanitary conditions attributed to aging residential septic systems.
The project will consist of installing low pressure sewer grinder pumps and 4-inch, 3-inch, 2-inch, and 1.5-inch force main pipe with air release valves along Sugar Ridge Road, Mercer Road, Long Street and Gregory Street in the Sugar Ridge/Mercer Road area of Center and Middleton Townships, Wood County, Ohio.
