Team Building: Mini-Floats

MINI FLOAT BUILDING AT BLAINE KERN’S MARDI GRAS WORLD

$55/person for mini floats

 $55 + $17.25 for tour and mini floats

Kick off the experience with a guided tour for your group. This takes about one hour and will give you more insight about Mardi Gras, Mardi Gras World, and the activity to follow. The tour includes a 14 minute HD movie, an opportunity to try on costumes, King Cake, Mardi Gras World beads, and a tour of the Prop Shop to see the artists creating, painting, constructing and sculpting. The group will also view the most awesome floats ever built for carnival.

Groups will be sub-divided depending on the number of participants. Prior to the event a general theme should be picked, i.e.; African Wildlife, Countries of the World, Children’s Story Books, etc. Each team will then sketch their ‘vision’ of the 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 build their own mini Mardi Gras float. There will be artists on hand for verbal assistance and they will also be available to judge the floats at the end. This activity takes about two hours and includes soft drinks.
