Fat Tuesday in the "Big Easy

It's Fat Tuesday in New Orleans and that means it's time to party: Mardi Gras-style!

Throughout the Big Easy, people are crying out "Go Saints! Who Dat!" The city is still revelling in its Super Bowl win, so Mardi Gras has become one big extended party. "Oh, this is the best! We come every year and the crowds are bigger this year," said Chris booth, who was dressed as a pig with wings.

Even the chilly temperatures haven't stopped Saints fans from filling the streets for more than a week now. And ruling the celebrations is New Orleans' favorite adopted son, Drew Brees. The Super Bowl MVP and King of the hugely popular Bacchus Parade.

Half the fun at Mardi Gras is to try to catch the beads they throw from the floats. It's not as easy as it looks, but most sought after items this year are purple Drew Brees footballs. They're hard to catch! Raynell Hughes tried to catch one of the 10,000 toys thrown out during the parade. "It feels so great. It feels like I am in love," Hughes said.

And on Bourbon Street, the businesses are also feeling the love. Restaurant Manager Henry Sauviac says it's the busiest he's ever seen it.
