Eunice Mardi Gras Run begins with blue skies, chickens flying (for a little while)

The Eunice Mardi Gras started from the Northwest Community Center under blue skies. The Mardi Gras was held last year with about 50 runners who braved freezing temperatures and icy conditions. This morning was near perfect weather for about 400 participants. The parade is scheduled in downtown Eunice at about 3 p.m. (Photos by Harlan Kirgan)
