OneNew Year's Eve my husband and I went to a hotel party in Milwaukee. We got bored at the hotel party so we wandered around looking for one that was more fun. We went in one that was a German group that puts on a pre-Lental carnival in Milwaukee. They were in costumes and having so much fun! There was a competition for King and Queen. We joined in and danced and danced and danced.

I knew of the Mardi Gras in New Orleans but had never known of it as a German custom. I would love to see the real carnival!
