Krewe of Carnivale en Rio

Lafayette's Mardi Gras Krewe with Brazilian Excitement!

Samba at the Sambada!

Look out, Rio membros!  Our fifth annual Rio Sambada was held on Saturday night, AUGUST 22, 2009 at RIVER OAKS in Lafayette, Louisiana. Sorry fans...members only for this partido Latino.

Sambada night was the night that we introduced our new King and Queen to our membros. Our Dom Pedro V, Wallace Granager and  Queen Isabel V, Danielle Hidalgo partied the night away with their new Royalty Court and Rio Membros..

 

An exciting feature of our Rio Sambada was the selection by lottery of our Corte Real or Royal Court. Royalty wannabees place their name in the lottery and have to be present to assume their courtly positions if their names are drawn. 

The luck of the draw revealed these names.......Bob Pastor, Monica Onebane, Denise Kitchens, Tara Becnel, Maurice Bercier, Elmo Lasseigne, Melanie Martin, Ed Buttross, and Sarah Delahoussaye.

Congratulations, Corte!
