HistoryIn 1946, Blaine Kern, Sr. founded Blaine Kern Artists. Kern came from a family of float builders, but began creating floats after 1947, when a surgeon and krewe captain who had seen a mural by Kern hired him to create floats for the Krewe of Alla.[3] Kern's business expanded from there.[4] Kern, who traveled to Europe to learn float building techniques, has gained an international reputation in float building, with floats beyond New Orleans for Las Vegas, NV; Mobile, AL; Galveston, TX; Montreal, Canada; and the Universal Studios Mardi Gras parade.[5] In 1984, Mardi Gras World was created as a tourist attraction to show visitors a behind-the-scenes look at float building.[6] In the late 2000s Mardis Gras World nearly quadrupled in size, expanding from 80,000 to 300,000 square feet.[7] See also
