Inside set to Placina warehouses, there is a hidden world of floating Mardi Gras. Some of them are as significant as a car equipped with seating for dozens of riders. Other statues, rising up to 16 feet, depict pop-cultural characters. There are alligators larger than life and bears panda, as well as mysterious images of cartoon characters and local celebrities. Each float is equipped with special LED lights primed for both the day and night parades.
The artistry of these rising figures is a product of the Comogo Floats LLC team, which recruits manufacturers from around the state to decorate each of them by hand.
Even if you have not heard of the company, you have seen his creations.
In addition to the riding in its name Krewe from Comogo Parade, the company attaches its job to flaunt Adis to the ASCENSION parish. In Baton Rouge, his sailing is ride with Krewes such as Oshun, Artemis and Orion and he plays a big role in the annual wearing of the green parade. He also hired his floors for LSU events.
Between the concerts, the sailing is stored in a warehouse where navigation on the paths feels like a wandering maze. In fact, Comogo Floats has grown so much, it has moved its operations to these bigger buildings before this carnival season.
It all began in the 1990s, with Brenda Como’s dream being to form the poster’s night parade in the city center. But her vision fell in 2009 when she died of cancer.
Then the city gathered and made a parade in her honor: Krewe of Comogo. The Comeaux brothers were not involved in the beginning, but after they received the invitation to help, they were all inside.
“If we do this, let’s do a parade – let’s do what she wanted,” recalls Earl Como, thinking. “So we have enough members and we got a connection in New Orleans and we hired a few floors.”
Not long after the Comod brothers joined the group, they decided they had to make their own floors. COMOGO FLOATS LLC was born with Earl and Ralph Commodus as managing partners, designing floats and renting.
And at the Krewe of Comogo parade, this year on March 2 – Sunday before Mardi Gras – Spectators can see many of these floats in the same place.
The night parade has been operating since 2013, now managed by Darrel Comeeaux in honor of Brenda. The 11-Foot Brandy Statue, with a reading sign “In Brenda’s Love Memory,” leads the parade.
After throwing the last beads, the brothers look forward. They begin the construction of new fabrics for the next year almost immediately after the fat Tuesday. Earl says they intend to hold the COMOGO Floats show for a long time.
“I would like to do it myself for at least another 10 years and I hope someone in my family will take it,” he says. “My daughter participates a lot; She helps and learns. Hopefully my little son or my daughter or one of my grandchildren will take it. “
