Those working at the Albany Welcome Center have been busy this week stuffing packets and sorting out volunteer T-shirts for the festivities taking place this weekend.
And things aren't likely to slow down.
In anticipation of the Mardi Gras weekend events, officials with the Albany Convention & Visitors Bureau say they expect roughly 50,000 people to attend Saturday's activities — with an estimated impact of $3 million.
