A look back at Blaine Kern's contributions to Mardi Gras; 'You can't say enough about it'

You know that if we could, the streets would be filled with people second lining for Blaine Kern whose death was announced on Friday.

“I know Blaine would want to go out in style, and it’s just sad that I don’t think it’s going to happen right now,” said Dan Kelly.

“I’m sure they’re doing it for him in heaven. I’m sure all the past captains and past krewe members are up there celebrating with him,” said Sonny Borey.

Borey is the captain of the Krewe of Orpheus. He says Mardi Gras floats like King Kong, Ponchartrain Beach, or The Shoe are products of Kern’s genius and hard work.
