ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Did you grab some of the estimated 10 million strands of beads that were tossed into the crowd during Saturday's Mardi Gras grand parade in Soulard? Well, if you have any left, here's something to do with them.
Mardi Gras organizers have placed five-gallon buckets at various spots around Soulard to collect beads for recycling. The buckets are at places like Soulard Farmer's Market and Joanie's pizza.
