 Mississippi Gulf Coast Mardi gras Parade, Downtown Biloxi Ms.

 GULF COAST CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION MARDI GRAS PARADE 

March 8

Gulf Coast Carnival Association traces its roots back to 1908 and Biloxi's first Mardi Gras parade, which included 17 floats, 150 flambeau carriers, the new 12-piece Herald Newspaper Band, a grand marshal, the mayor and the councilmen. The monarchs were the first King D’Iberville and Queen Ixolib.  Eight years later, The Biloxi Carnival and Literary Association was incorporated. Its purpose: "to promote the study of literature and particularly Greek mythology; to give an annual carnival and street pageant in the City of Biloxi, Mississippi, by artistic floats representing Greek mythology and historic events."

In 1929, the Biloxi celebration expanded to include other Coast cities, and around 1949 the Biloxi Carnival and Literary Association became the Gulf Coast Carnival Association. Biloxi's Mardi Gras has been celebrated every year except for war and Depression years.Today the Carnival Association continues the tradition begun over 100 years ago, with King D’Iberville and Queen Ixolib reigning over the parade in Biloxi on Fat Tuesday!

KREWE OF NEPTUNE MARDI GRAS PARADE  March 8th

•  
  • Founded in 1981 and patterned after the old-line New Orleans Mardi Gras Krewes, The Krewe of Neptune charter membership consisted of 150 members. With the Krewe selecting the Gulf Coast as its home, it was only befitting to select a name that related to the water, Neptune the roman God of the Sea. Neptune's first parade held on Mardi Gras Day in 1983 on the streets of downtown Biloxi. This parade is unique in the fact that all floats come from Louis Massett & Associates, of New Orleans, and transported to Biloxi. The Krewe of Neptune parade follows immediately after the Gulf Coast Carnival Parade!
  • Date(s): 03/08/2011 - 03/08/2011
  • Times: Immediately following Gulf Coast Carnival Parade!

USAA Movers Advantage

 I spent weeks trying to become a REALTOR for USAA movers advantage. Well, I was in for a rude awaking, and yes I said RUDE!  The program is geared to put money back into the buyers pocket which is great for the home buyer. Only not so good for the REALTOR involved, it is a referral program from USAA MOVERS ADVANTAGE to get part of the commission money from the REALTOR and give a portion back to thier usaa member who chooses one of their realtors.

The REALTOR involved in the referral process cannot disclose how the program works. Why, because USAA movers advantage do not wont their clients or anyone else to know the facts. Now that just dont sound Right!

USAA movers advantage claims to gives their clients money back, if they use USAA movers advantage. Which means they must use a Realtor that is referred to them, the REALTOR has agreed to give 30-35% of their commission to USAA MOVERS ADVANTAGE, who in return gives "PART" of it back to their client. Yes I said PART of it. 

As a Realtor I strive very hard to make the buying and selling process as stress free as possible for my clients. It upsets me to know that USAA movers advantage  is the one claiming to be putting the money back into the buyers pocket. When in all actuality it's the REALTOR who's giving them the BONUS. USAA movers advantage  gives only a portion to the buyers and keep the rest.. Now that just aint right!  

In Alabama and Mississippi, we Realtors, we are not allowed to give away cash or gifts/bonus to an unlicensed person. So my question to USAA movers Advantage is; Are you a Real Estate Licensed Company?  

I urge buyers to find a REALTOR they like, trust and have confidence in. One that will work for their best interest, you will end up better off if your REALTOR works for you and does not have to give up most of their commission.

Buyers say they are working with USAA movers adavantage, but the advantage appears to be more for USAA Movers Advantage than the buyer.

I have helped several Military families find and sell homes in the Mississipi, Alabama Gulf Coast area. I would love to help you too. Call or email me at alice@alicebroadway.com
