If you have Mardi Gras beads just laying around, today is the last day you can trade them in for free donuts.
The Krispy Kreme on Clearview Parkway in Metairie is offering a dozen glazed donuts in exchange for at least 12 pounds of beads.
The beads will be taken to the Arc of Greater New Orleans' Mardi Gras Recycle Center which employs dozens of people with intellectual disabilities.
