This will be the 1st Annual Mardi Gras Boat Parade for Krewe of Tickfaw River. It is estimated to be 25+ boats. The money raised by Krewe of Tickfaw River goes to the Springfield Fire Rescue. This money is 100% used to help with funding operations for all Livingston Parish waterways. Everything this department does to serve and protect our waterways is funded by donations, meaning there is no parish, state or federal funding for this. The money raised will enable us to purchase motors and fuel for our boats. It will pay for maintenance on boats and updated medical equipment. Additionally, it will help to assist in rescues and recoveries. It will also fund more training and certifications for personnel to be the best they can be.
