Just dumb luck. I changed the icons and that was the new one replacing the one you put there before.

A Sweet Potato Queen Parade is just a really good excuse for a couple thousand women to getogether, wear their tiaras and fancy outfits, and get drunk all weekend! It really is the ultimate girl's weekend! It all started with a book my sister gave me to read called, The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love. After reading it, we decided we had to go down to the party! It was a blast! Unfortunately, we didn't make it last year and won't make it this year either, but we are planning on going in 2008. Maybe you can come with us!

True. These are mostly rednecks drinking warm beer, but they do have a Swamp Cabbage Queen.

They have rednecks drinking warm beer at our parade too. All the floats are just painted plywood, nailed together to hold 20 drunk people and a porta-potty! You can see pictures at www.sweetpotatoqueens.com. I'm even in one of the pictures from 2005!

I can't remember what page it is (I think page 4) It is the one with 3 girls in pink t-shirts and jeans. It is me, my sister, and her friend, Sussie.
