re: Mamou Mardi Gras - Looking for some info

Mamou ride leaves the American Legion hall at 7:30 a.m. Believe it or not, there is plenty of drunkenness at this point and it only gets worse. The ride returns down 6th street at 3 p.m. I'm from just down the road and have ridden in Mardi Gras rides all around the area for 10+ years. Mamou ride is by far the most rowdy, drunk, unruly, vulgar ride. With that said, I had the most fun on that ride compared to others which are glorified trail rides. The locals take their Mardi Gras ride (and the whole Mardi Gras shindig) very seriously. It's pretty much their Super Bowl, Christmas etc. Have fun!
