Cervus-Hephaestus Queens' Club holds social

Queen Hephaestus LX Madeleine Margaret Hover was the honoree at the Cervus-Hephaestus Queens’ Club Social held Feb. 26. at Café Jo Jo’s in Morgan City.
The former queens and their mothers celebrated Hover and her mother, a former queen, Tracie Hamer Hover. Mary Ellen Ruiz Stegall presented Madeleine Hover with the official Cervus-Hephaestus Queens’ Flag. Also recognized at the luncheon were Grace Siracusa Guarisco and the late Maggie Melancon Bergeron for their years of service to the Queens’ Club.
King Hephaestus LX Allie “Al” Adams III and Captain 2020 Gregory J. Hamer Jr. toasted the honored queen, the former queens and their mothers. Mothers of the past queens are invited by their daughters to join the celebration of the current Hephaestus royalty and to reminisce about past courts, and the history of Morgan City Mardi Gras.
The Cervus-Hephaestus Queens’ Club was established to recognize the female monarchs that have ruled over the Krewe of Cervus, which evolved into the Krewe of Hephaestus.
