Buy-U Beads

This carnival season, let TARC’s Buy-U Beads business service all of your throws for Mardi Gras!  Through generous donations from the community, this unique business employs over 12 workers that sort, package, and sell beads and throws that include stuffed animals and footballs to krewes and riders. During Mardi Gras, our Buy-U Beads truck and trailer ends each local parade with a crowd-pleasing bead collection process.
