2009 Carrollton "Man of the Year" 

Chuck Schofield

The reciepient of the 2009 Krewe of Carrollton "Man of the Year" Award went to Chuck Schofield.  Chuck has been a long time member of the Krewe of Carrollton, even though he does not live here in the New Orleans area.  Chuck was acknowledged with this award because of the work he has provided the Krewe by co-ordinating the largest group of out of town members who ride with us year after year.  He has the largest float in our parade.  His group consists of 38 or more members from around the country and the world.  He co-orinates all payments, ordering of throws, obtaining Ball tickets for the group and acts as the host for these gentlemen.  He is the face of the Krewe for all of these members.  We congratulate him, and thank him for his many years of service to the Krewe. 

2009 Carrollton Weekend "Smashing Success"

Well, it's over The Carrollton Weekend is now just a fond memory. 

The Tableau and Supperdance on Friday evening went off without a hitch.  The Court lead by our 2009 Royalty, King LXXXV Lenny Rizzo and Queen LXXXV Erin VanGeffen was beautiful.  Our Maids costumes were colorful and exquisite while being escorted by their Dukes in standard white costumes with capes to match their gowns.  The Junior Maids and Ladies in waiting in their white gowns rounded out the court.  Dinner and danceing followed the presentation of the Formal Tableau.

Sunday morning of the parade started off questionable with rain falling all morning.  When time came for the Krewe to move out to the floats, the rain stopped.  When the Parade started moving down the street, within a few blocks the sun came out and the afternoon was perfect.  The parade moved along with no problems.  Everyone had a wonderful time, and our parade goers were treated to the full splendor of "The Krewe of Carrollton". 

As always, the Krewe of Carrollton appreciates all of our local Loyal parade spectators as well vistors to the city.  We look forward to presenting our Weekend next year.
