TRUCK FLOATS: The Krewe of Elks-Jeffersonians  (Jefferson Parish, following Argus) Krewe organized in 1974. 4,000 male and female riders 90+ truck floats Captain, no royalty selected Look for Elroy the Elk stuffed animals and krewe-emblemed cups. The oldest (and largest) of all the truck float krewes! Sponsored by the Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks, a worldwide fraternal society dedicated to charitable deeds.  Following directly on the heels of Argus, the arrival of the Elks-Jeffersonians provides a near-constant stream of music and throws, all being tossed by thousands of riders on dozens of trucks.  While the truck parades are not as ornate as the traditional floats, they are quite inventive and exemplify the "us, too!" spirit of Mardi Gras. The krewe's mascot Elroy the Elk, also serves as mascot for their sister krewe, the Elks-Orleanians.
