MADISON, Miss. (Monday, Feb. 9, 2009, 9:32 a.m.) – When the Krewe of Endymion hits the streets of New Orleans on Saturday, Feb. 21, you'll witness one of the organization's best parades in recent memory.
My family and I had a sneak peek at the krewe's floats during an open house at the Endymion den Saturday, Feb. 7. The theme: "Tales of Sleep and Dreams"; floats depict nightmare tales and storybook themes.
All were depicted in minute detail on parade floats decorated with intricate papier mache props. They should look incredible when fully lit and traveling down Canal Street on parade night.
Below is a photo gallery slide show from the open house. Don't forget to use the button in the bottom left corner of the slide show to toggle captions. And click the photo to enlarge in a new window.
