SUMMARY: In an upcoming event in London, a girl is going to be involved in an event held on the bay celebrating Mardi Gras. The event is a part of the celebration of the Mystic Seahorse Krewe parade. The parade is held annually to honor the sailors of the Battle of Bay St. Louis during the War of 1812. The parade will feature the vocal group Chapel Heart and golf carts. The location of the event is called Hancock County and there will be a large gala with food and music and an official crowning of the new crew. The parade will feature a special pirate ship float along with other golf carts altered to look like pirate ships. This year, there will also be a route change, and instead of turning at the Ugly Part, the parade will go down to the model and then to the beach. There will also be a reenactment of the Battle of Bay St. Louis held on the beach, and a new marker will be placed commemorating the battle. All the events will help to support charities in Hancock County, and the parade will likely attract a crowd of over 5,000 people.

Brenda Comer and Chuck Lizana announced Chapel Hart will perform at the upcoming Lundi Gras parade.

SUMMARY: **Summary (100 words):**
In this week’s *Behind the Business: Sugar Tribe Sweets and Events*, what began as a hobby for Ocean Springs’ Jennifer Mayfield has grown into a flourishing bakery and event business. Inspired by a cake she made for her nephew’s birthday, Mayfield launched Sugar Tribe through social media. Self-taught via YouTube and trial and error, she expanded from home baking to two storefronts. Sugar Tribe now offers custom cakes, themed desserts, brownies, cinnamon rolls, king cakes, and event services including linens and decor. Though cakes are her specialty, Mayfield’s creativity drives her growing success—alongside owning an urgent care clinic.
