This year members will join in and support the Krewe de Guard Mardi Gras parade that will raise money for the local public library. The local Krewe de Guard organization, founded by Russellville native Anna Carol Porter, is sponsoring Russellville’s first Mardi Gras parade. Everyone is invited, and you may enter the Mardi Gras parade for a small fee. Mardi Gras is a Christian holiday usually celebrated by regions with large Roman Catholic populations. So get your Mardi Gras fun clothes on or wear the Mardi Gras colors – purple, which represents justice; green, which symbolizes faith; and gold, which is the symbol of power – and join all the fun!
