Captain, Blain Kern and the members
of the Krewe of Alla wish to extend
their congratulations to the Gretna
Bingo Palace on its 10 year
anniversary.
One
of the oldest krewes on the Westbank,
Alla has been here for more than 50
years. With a membership of 450
people ranging in age from teens to
senior citizens, Alla is the largest
Mardi Gras organization on the
Westbank.
Alla's route begins at Our Lady of
Holy Cross College in Algiers and
ends at the old Gretna Post Office
on Huey P. Long Ave.
There are usually about 32 floats in
the parade and numerous marching
teams and bands. The bands consist
of local schools as well as bands
from as far away as Florida and
California.
