Mini Float Building at Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World - for adult groups of 20 or more
Mini float building at Mardi Gras World is a unique team building activity that allows groups of 8-10 adults create one of a kind miniature float. Kick off the experience with a guided tour for the group. This takes about one hour and will give the group more insight about the activity to follow. The tour includes a 12 minute movie presentation, an opportunity to try on costumes, King Cake and coffee, Mardi Gras World beads and a tour of the Prop Shop to see the artists creating, painting, constructing and sculpting.
Prior to the event a general theme should be picked, ie. African Wildlife, Countries of the World, Children's Story Books, etc. Each team will then sketch the 'vision' of their float on paper. Then they begin construction. Each group is furnished with the following: gloves, aprons, paints, brushes, styrofoam, fringe and all tools necessary to complete the task.
There will be an artist on hand for verbal assistance and they will also be available to judge the floats at the end. This activity takes about two hours. For pricing and more information, call (504) 361-7821.
