2008 is now just a memory!

The 2008 Carrollton Weekend is now just a memory. The Ball and Supper Dance was a great sucess and enjoyed by all who attended. The Court with the Ladies in Waiting, the Maids in their beautiful costumes, The Dukes intheir traditional costumes were a sight to behold. Our Queen, as beautiful as ever, reigned in her royal splendor. Our King was regal and ever smiling, greeting his subjects. In short the entire Tableau was presented with precision.

Parade Day, Breakfast at the House of Blues was as good as always, The second line from breakfast to then hotel was ever lively with everyone we passed getting their fill of the beads that were thrown. The Parade, what can we say, the weather was beautiful with sunshine and mild temperatures. The crowd that came to see us was large and delighted as each float passed them by. The bands playing music were a delight to the crowd. All of us were saddened when the parade ended knowing that we need to wait until next year to do it all again.

The Krewe would like to thank all who participated in making this day a tremendous success. Namely the krewe riders, the tractor drivers, the bands, and most of all the people who were on the street to see us, without you the parade is just a mundane Sunday drive down St Charles Ave.

We look forward to seeing you in 2009...

Passing of a good friend
Right after the first of the year the Krewe of Carrollton lost one of it's oldest and beloved members, Mr. Louis Haeuser.  Mr Louis was one of our members that helped hold the club together in lean times.  He was an member for over 50 years, held various positions within the club, including Board Memebr Emeritus (Board member for over 25 years), Treasurer and Krewe Officer.  We ask that everyone keep his family in your prayers.

The Krewe of Carrollton presented its annual Coronation Ball on Saturday October 27, 2007. At this annual event, the Maids and Dukes were introduced and presented to those attending. Our 2008 Queen, Miss Katherine Dileo, was also introduced and presented.

As is customary with our Krewe, the King of Carrollton is kept a secret until this night. The Captain moved among the crowd and stopped and Crowned our King for the 2008 Parade. Our 84th King is Mr. Ralph Romaguera.

The night continued on with a live band and everyone was dancing and enjoying the merriment. Breakfast was served to those in attendance and a great time was had by all.
