Z Krewe Big Daddy and Big Momma

 

Big Daddy and Big Momma are the Krewe's Head Zanies.

Big Daddy is chosen from the Krewe by the previous Big Daddies. Each Big Daddy then chooses his Big Momma from the Krewe in secret. She is then presented to the Krewe at her presentation party.

 On April 3, 2007, after swashbuckling sword-fights and candidates' best "Arrr," Benton Vandiver was selected as Big Daddy 14!

And on August 4, 2007, the keys were tested, and a large treasure chest was opened to reveal a message from Davy Jones ... that Colleen Fountain is Big Momma 14!

Congratulations, Benton and Colleen! We know this 2007-2008 Mardi Gras season, the Krewe's Year of the Pirate will definitely shiver our timbers!

On September 4, 2007, Big Daddy Benton spoke of a treasure hunt, to be held in conjunction with the Krewe's Ball in 2008.  He insisted we all bone up on our pirate facts and lore, but promised hints in his 'blog.  So check the 'blog often (by clicking the parrot icon, above), and good luck!
