Baldwin gets ready for Carnival season - al.com: "With one less parade, Carnival will get off to a later start in Baldwin County, but revelers are still gearing up for a festive Mardi Gras season when the celebration kicks off Feb. 13.

Le Crewe de Spaniards, who have held Baldwin County's first parade for most of the last decade, will not have a procession this year, according to members. Because the group is a mystic society, members do not release their names.

One member said the Spaniards decided not to parade this year because of the economy, but are making plans to return in 2010."
