Fun Mardi Gras Facts That You Didn't Know - Iqraa news

Kern Studios, a float-creation company, has been a part of Mardi Gras history since 1932 when, Kern history notes, “the first mule-drawn float was built on the back of a garbage wagon.” The family-owned business, which designs and builds floats for Mardi Gras and other festivals far beyond New Orleans, celebrates its historic ties to the city with Mardi Gras World. After repeated requests for tours, Blaine Kern opened the working studio to the public in 1984 and, now open daily, it’s become an attraction that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world.
