Independent Parade, Mardi Gras 1985 In Lafayette
The Independent Parade has come a long way from the days when a truck hauled a trailer with a banner and some homemade railings! This video from the live Mardi Gras television broadcast on KADN from 1985 shows what it was like. AND it features one of Townsquare Media Lafayette's current staffers... can you pick out Tammy Jenkins Hebert?
