Krewes, throw us your fun photos for The News’ upcoming Mardi Gras special section.

Area Krewes were busy this past year with various events, getting together for Midway To Mardi Gras and helping the community with the Krewe of Krewes Fill-A-Float Toy Drive so send us those photos from balls, parties, charitable activities and royalty to be included in the annual festival guide.

Include cutline information to explain what is going on in the photo and who is in it, named from left. Please send your contact information as well in case we have a question.

No photo? Just send us a paragraph or two with your krewe news, royal court member names or a short update explaining what the clubs have been up to all year. Include contact numbers or Web sites so that readers may sign up to join krewes.

Send high resolution photos in jpg format to mary.meaux@panews.com

The deadline to submit is noon Monday, Jan. 18.

Sweet Soirèe is the theme for this year’s Mardi Gras of Southeast Texas, which will be held Feb. 4-7 in downtown Port Arthur.
