Susan Joins Mardi Gras Parade
HCCDC Braves the Cold for Mardi Gras
School is almost out for
Mardi Gras vacation—but what is Mardi Gras without a parade? The staff and
students of the Harrison County Child Development Center bundled up against the
cold temperatures and even colder wind to attend their very own Mardi Gras
Parade Friday, February 01, 2008.

The Gulfport Police department came with
their motorcycles and the DARE train—allowing staff to ride and throw beads,
king pies and other goodies. Susan Gregory,
Pro Bass Fisherman and Harrison County School District Child Nutrition
Specialist rode on her boat along with Child Nutritionist, Ky Creel and the
Child Development Center’s Cafeteria Manager, Marilyn Bond. The Joppa Temple
Motor Corps were out in force with their “old cars” and specialized bikes. The
students were able to enjoy their own private parade where the riders could
gently toss throws directly to them. In addition, many of the Joppa Temple
Motor Corp would stop their bikes and personally hand beads or stuffed animals
to the students.
After the parade was finished, many of the men from the motor
corps could be seen mingling amongst the students trying to interact and give
the students even more “loot” than they had already received. In spite of the
weather, all of the students and staff had a good time.
The students came away
with more than their share of parade throws. All of these students were assured
of having attended at least one parade this year. There are many other parades
still to come before Fat Tuesday, but none of these students can say, they
didn’t go to any parades this year. They went to their own parade—the HCCDC 2nd
Annual Mardi Gras Parade.
