Braving the cold and rain

Not willing to be deterred by foul weather Tuesday, King and Queen Sucrose LXXIV Derrick Faucheaux and Carolyn Higdon boarded an airboat and headed down Bayou Teche to the boardwalk area in Franklin. Pages to King Sucrose Master Carter Anthony Faucheux and Master Collin Michael Faucheux also went along for the ride, and the royals pitched Mardi Gras goodies to a few loyal subjects waiting on the shore. Franklin’s Mardi Gras parade was canceled due to severe cold and rain. (Photo Courtesy Miguez Photography)
