The Saddle Tramp Rider’s Club, which hosts the events, released the following statement on Friday:

Mardi Gras runs nearly died away

Courirs de Mardi Gras, rowdy horseback runs through south Louisiana’s countryside, now rival urban parades and pageants as local celebrations and attractions for visitors.

The Junior Auxiliary of Eunice and the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve’s Prairie Acadian Cultural Center are planning a Mardi Gras event for children from 10 a.m. to noon at the Jean Lafitte Center, 250 Park Ave; Eunice.
