Thank you, krewe members and fans for making the 2019 parade spectacular!

Inspiration comes in many forms...There is something here. Something lovely and fun....especially as we have recently incorporated stick horses into the Joan of Arc Parade. They are currently carried, not "ridden"., for obvious reasons, but...I see a future fundraiser or some other clever, magical, artistic interpretation of this that as usual, lives up to our quirky reputation and is family friendly, nola medieval style!! Hmmmm. #medievalthinkingcapon #giddyupartists

I am a PROUD bearer of the stick-horse for the last two parades!!! This year I got to carry one side of the cavalry!!! 😍 Meanwhile, note-and-aside, look what I found on Youtube, with LYRICS on the SCREEN!!! It doesn't have nearly enough views IMO, so please share it around. https://youtu.be/iARfkeIX_b8

The woman who won her age division in the Boston Marathon is lovingly called "Joan of Maine" by fellow runners, as in Joan of Arc. She was also featured in the Nike ad about what "crazy" means for women athletes. It's always heartening to see Joan's name used in positive ways for women of all ages. She is truly timeless and ageless!
