What a great day for the Bay Buggies and the Activities Committee!
After a delicious breakfast people, carts, automobiles, bikes and dogs, lined up on Bayside Drive and at 12 Noon the parade began. Beads, stuffed animals, moon pies, candy and other small trinkets were tossed to eager children and adults.
Every year the event gets better and can’t wait to see what next year will bring.

As I wrote elsewhere: I wasn’t able to attend the other events today, I’m sure they went well, but I gotta tell you I was really impressed with the Mardi Gras parade! This was the first for my wife Patty and me, but it won’t be our last. We had buggies, motorcycles, cars – all beautifully decorated and with spirited drivers & passengers! Many Cove residents turned out along the parade route for the event, even though we had experienced an entire night of thunderstorms and the skies were still threatening. Many of the folks dressed up in their Mardi Gras garb to cheer the paraders on. It was a great event all around.
There has been some contention and disagreement in the Cove of late, mostly about finances and the economy. But today was simply uplifting and positive, as everyone who participated was immersed in goodwill and good times. “Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!!”
