The parade was originally scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 18,2012 and was rescheduled due to rain. The 900 member ladies-only krewe is the oldest women's Carnival organization in New Orleans. This years theme was "Iris, Messenger of the Gods". Monarchs of Iris are Queen Cheryl Cottingham Short and King John "JJ" Short. Photo: Susan Poag

Krewe of Houmas' parade will be led by the Spirit of Louisiana~The Spirit of Louisiana fire truck was donated to the city of New York in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The 42,000-pound truck was built by Ferrera Fire Apparatus Co. of Holden, with money raised by Louisiana residents. The fire truck was made to New York specifications and can pump 1,000 gallons of water in one minute. Louisiana later donated two hazardous-material trucks that aid in hazardous spill cleanup operations.
