I know what it means to miss New Orleans.... or rather I don't. I've never been there, but it's one of my friend Kelly Pezel's favorite places to visit. She's going to join me so we can learn about what to visit in New Orleans, how and why. Tracy Vozar is going to call in, too. Tracy is going to talk about going to the Big Easy for Mardi Gras and how you can actually participate in a Mardi Gras parade.

In 2019 I was driving down to Mansfield, Missouri for their Wilder Days event. I was going to be traveling by myself I decided to swing over to Marceline, MO on my way down. Disney - YouTube It wasn't very long after I got back that I was looking up something about Rothville, Missouri and discovered it was right by Marceline and I somehow had missed it. That means I had to go back. My friend Kelly offered to go back with me and this is what we saw in Marceline.
