Thank you to our incredible @LAStatePolice, @LANationalGuard, @LDWF, and ALL our law enforcement and public safety agencies. It is because of their dedication and diligence that we have been able to enjoy a safe and fun Mardi Gras. Enjoy the rest of the Mardi Gras festivities and be sure to thank the men and women that make it all possible!
