Mardi Gras parade at the Tropicana Park in Ft. Myers, Florida. Paul Goldfinger photograph. 2/16/21. She was smiling, blowing a horn and tossing beads to the crowd.
This year, 2021, Mardi Gras was cancelled in New Orleans. But at the Tropicana Park in Ft. Myers, a retirement community, they have a parade each year where most participants ride around in decorated golf carts. There were only a few kids and one dog. This young lady was the star of this show.
