"The Krewe of Elks celebrated its 45th anniversary with the announcement of King and Queen Elk XLIV during its annual Carnival Ball at the Hattiesburg Elks Lodge.
The identities of the new King and Queen were revealed as King Elk XLIV, Steve Oshrin and Queen Elk XLIV, Richie Malone."
Interesting. There are all kinds of regulations on the use of the term "Elks" for organizations outside of a lodge or state association. Since this has been going on presumably for decades, maybe it's a coalition of lodges in the New Orleans area?
