Shreveport, LA

The Krewe of Elders was founded so that Senior Citizens might be able to participate in the fun of Mardi Gras without the expense of the bigger Krewes. We make it easy for those on fixed or limited incomes to participate. We have Royalty, a Formal Coronation and one of the most enjoyable Balls of the Season, and we do it with very limited out of pocket expense.

"It's Nifty to be Fifty."


The wise O' Owl is our symbol.
When one reaches the
ripe O' Age of 50+
you gain some experience
and lots of wisdom.


Community involvement includes:
Visiting Local Nursing Homes
Council of Aging
Senior Olympics

 

  • We have 107 membrs
  • Both male and female members
  • Krewe founded in 1998

 
August 20, 2004, Coronation of the Krewe of Elders VII.  Theme is "Happy Days".  The Captain and his Royal court strolled to variety of 50's songs as they took to the center stage for their forth coming announcement.  The Royalty for 2004-2005, you found the King, Ray Urban and is Dukes, Lester Brosset and Jim Van derberry dressed in leather jackets and blue jeans while the Queen, Mary Anne Rankin and her Duchesses were in  various colors of poodle shirts.  The Captain of the Krewe, Doug Wolvington, was found wearing an Elvis like wig (really an unusual site with a full white beard) and white dinner jacket and carnation on his lapel.
