Salon FAQs

• Dress: Casual, NOT costumes
• Food: It’s ok to bring your own snacks or drink
• Nonmembers: The public is totally welcome and encouraged to enjoy the free lectures.
• Can’t stay all day? Yes, it’s fine to just attend one or two talks
• Prospective members: The Salon is a great place to get to know the krewe, and memberships can be purchased in person at the Salon, but there is no assumption that Salon attendees will also join the krewe.

Throws Workshops this week

Captain Amanda’s air conditioning is fixed, and we have three workshops this week trying to get some throws and shields ready to have available for sale at the Salon. Come craft with us at the home of krewe captain Amanda Helm at 7330 Sycamore St. We’ll be working on finishing the “real shield” canvas-covered curved wood logo shields and on the 2026 saint medallions.  All skill levels are welcome and all supplies will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own tools if you prefer. These are a great way to connect with other krewe members, get your questions answered, show off your own krewe projects, and bounce ideas. See above for times and dates.
