Tiny floats, HUGE Mardi Gras fun! St. John Parish students are invited to roll in the Krewe of Shoe (Box) Float Contest by decorating a cardboard shoebox like a Mardi Gras parade float, according to the St. John the Baptist Parish.

Get creative with paint, glitter, beads, and more, then snap a photo of your finished float. Let your imagination roll and bring the Mardi Gras spirit to life!

Send your photo by DM to the St. John the Baptist Parish Facebook page by Wednesday, February 11. Be sure to include the student’s name, grade, and school for a chance to win a prize and be featured—share and let the good times roll.
