The Italian American St. Joseph Society held its 48th annual maid presentation at Audubon Park's Newman Bandstand on Sunday (March 4).  Girls in white dresses and long gloves danced in circles and posed for photos under beautiful blue skies. 

There's more fun coming up for the society. The group will present "the world's largest pasta dish,'' an annual tradition, Friday, March 9, at 11 a.m. at 11:45 a.m. at the Hilton Riverside Hotel, second floor. The public is invited. The society will have a St. Joseph's parade Saturday, March 10, at 6 p.m. in the French Quarter. Expect 15 floats, marching bands, and kisses from men with flowers.
