Mardi Gras Parade at Winter Carnival
Bill Stone
You never know who, or what, will show up for the Mardi Gras Grand Parade, the high point of The McCall Winter Carnival. The parade began at noon Saturday. The wild, colorful procession wound its way down North Third St. (Idaho 55) starting at Stibnite St., curved around the corner at Hotel McCall and made a final turn up First St. just past Manchester Ice & Event Centre. The parade featured many free spirits who marched and rode in a variety of outrageous costumes or vehicles. Some entrants even performed drills along the route, but no high school marching band ever looked like this.. and as always, a great time was had by all at The McCall Winter Carnival Mardi Gras Parade!
