The Krewe of Croix brought Mardi Gras mayhem and family fun to St, Croix’s north shore, with a crowd of celebrants following a Dr. Seuss theme for 2019.

The parade wound its way from Sylvie’s Place to Eat@CaneBay, where awards were handed out.

The entry from “”North Shore Freak Show” captured first place, with Absolute Auto in second and DJ Ninja in third.

The Lost Dog Pub entry won “Best of Show.”

Garry Anthony was this year’s grand marshal, and this year’s king and queen of the festivities were listed as “Cowboy Steve” and “Lady Kathryn.”

It wouldn't be a Dr. Seuss-themed parade without an appearance from the Car in the Hat. (Melody James photo)
