When no one is going to let the good times roll with Mobile’s month-long and city-wide Mardi Gras celebration, it’s more than just a city missing a great party. Not having Mardi Gras, and especially all the parades, means millions of dollars of lost tax revenue, and hundreds of businesses, artists, and companies have been put into financial jeopardy. Instead of taking this laying down, Susan Sarver and Stacy Wellborn have started the Mobile Porch Parade to keep Mardi Gras revelry alive in Mobile, Alabama. Plus, in the process, they are saving a ton of jobs, giving a new permanent revenue source for desperate float builders for years to come, and uplifting the spirits of old and young during this most festive time in our city.
On this episode, Karen talks with Stacy Wellborn and explains Mobile Porch Parade in detail, why it was started, what has been the immediate impact with the community, and how anyone can get involved.
