One last thing, it is never too early to start asking (begging) for Safety Walkers. The requirements for safety walkers are as follows; they need to be 18+ years and they cannot drink while walking. This is always a good way to introduce potential new members to the Krewe. If you know someone or some group, let me know. Keep in mind, there is a maximum and minimum number of safety walkers allowed.
