The party was sponsored by the Monroe-West Monroe Convention and Visitors Bureau, Scott Powerline, JPS Equipment Rental and Marsala Beverage, just to name a few.
The real celebration kicked off after the presentation of the King’s and Queen’s courts, the individuals who assist King and Queen Janus with official duties throughout the year.
