GRETNA – A St. Charles Parish parade float manufacturer has filed suit against a carnival club seeking reimbursement for alleged breach of contract and damages to parade floats.

Rizzuto & Co. LLC filed a suit against The Mystic Krewe of Titans Carnival Club Inc. in the 24th Judicial District Court on June 30.

According to the claim, the defendants were responsible for the provision of permits as well as coordinating the floats from the plaintiff's float den to the location of the parade staging area in Slidell. Following the carnival season, the plaintiff allegedly requested that the defendant reimburse them for damages done to the floats during transport, which was approximately $16,450.
