Where is Mardi Gras and what is it's race?

Mardi Gras is also called Shrove Tuesday and precedes the somber Catholic period of Lent. Many international cities celebrate Mardi Gras, including New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro and Venice. Mardi Gras is Tuesday, February 28, 2006 this year. It is Tuesday, February 20, 2007 next year.  As far as it's race goes, I think it has nothing to do with the people who live there.  Turtle races, I guess?

I wish we didn't have any, but I don't see how pizza got into your list. Why don't we call it NY style, the best in Brooklyn, just cheese please. Now the closest I can get one is Hollywood Beach, FL at Angelo's Corner.\n\nEdit: fatima b, I think I know what you mean but here's the real definition of race; 2nd Definition in the American Heritage Dictionary : A group of people united or classified together on basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: ex. The German race.\n\nEdit2: What is with the thumbs down? I didn't give anyone any.

It is in Terrebonne parish, just northwest of New Orleans.  The population was 32,393 at the 2000 census. There are many unincorporated areas adjacent to the city; the largest, Bayou Cane, is an urbanized area commonly referred to by locals as Houma but is not included in the 2000 census count. For this reason the actual population of the Houma area is estimated to be significantly greater than the census figure.\n\nThe name derives from the Houmas Indian tribe, not recognized by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.\n\nHouma and the surrounding communities are steeped in the traditions and culture of the Cajuns. The area is famous for its food, fishing, swamps, music, and hospitality. Houma is also known, although not as well as New Orleans, for its Mardi Gras festivities. Almost all towns within 100 miles of New Orleans, for example Mobile Alabama, seem to celebrate Mardi Gras.  Though Houma is quickly changing and developing, many of the residents of the surrounding small communities make their living as their ancestors did. They are shrimpers, oystermen, crabbers, fishermen, and trappers. Despite the rapidly changing face of the area, many old traditions and lifestyles remain to remind us of the area's rich cultural history.\n\nHouma and the surrounding area are the setting for the fictional Swamp Thing comic books, and the 2005 movie, The Skeleton Key. (It should be noted that the movie The Skeleton Key was not actually filmed in Houma, or Terrebonne Parish).\n\nHouma resident Martin Folse filmed the movie "Nutria Man: Terror in the Swamp" in the swamps in and around Houma in 1983.\n\nThe racial makeup of the city is 67.46% White, 26.12% African American, 3.45% Native American, 0.71% Asian.\n\nThe median income for a household in the city is $34,471, and the median income for a family was $40,679.\n\nYou can read the local newspaper at this website: http://www.houmatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage

-Money Stack Jumping\n\n-Peasant Races\n\n-Kick the Tourist\n\n(Kidding...)\n\nWell, there is a Formula 1 Grand Prix there.  They have soccer/futbol; AS Monaco is a team in the French League.  They have a golf course.  Sailing is big there.\n\nIt is a very small country...

Mardi Gras has bases in religion. (It comes right before lent--- Fat Tuesday) so I guess we are going to outlaw Rock n' Roll

if I was an investor, I would defintely not rebuild that city. Who wants to live in a city that is below sea level? I think the guy who built the city was drunk, gave a girl beads when she took off her top, and then that's how mardi gras was created.

According to http://www.legis.state.la.us - RS 15:157.1, does not exist.  It was last updated  through the 2006 1st Extraordinary Session.\n\nIs the number you gave correct?  Where did you find it?  Could you give a hint as to what this Revised Statute pertains to?  That might help.\n\nHowever these exist - \n\nRS 4:157.1 - Authorization to grant extra racing days; races of national importance. The commission shall grant extra racing days to an association requesting such days if the association is hosting a race or races deemed by the commission to be of national importance.\n\nRS 33:157.1 - Municipal governing authority of Rapides Parish; authority to annex\n\nIn Rapides Parish, after the expiration of the publication of the result of the election, if a majority in number of the qualified electors residing in and upon the lots or land proposed to be annexed to and included in the territorial corporate limits of the city or town, voting at such election, have voted in favor thereof, the municipal authorities of the city or town may then accept or reject such proposed annexation to the corporate limits of the city or town.  The election provided for in R.S. 33:158 through 33:161 shall not be required in the parish of Rapides. (I live in this parish....maybe I should read this one LOL)
