Mardi Gras

Last night was my first attempt at a Mardi Gras Event. I had a "brilliant" idea to have this fun party at the church I work at... to promote our Jazz Service, to have fellowship, to learn about volunteer opportunities, and to be a fundraiser for the upcoming Katrina Mission Trip. We had a decent turn-out and we ate losts of pancakes (regular, chocolate chip & sweet potato) and had some traditional King's Cake. People made their own masks and got to wear strings of beads and we even made some money for the trip. So far it was the best Mardi Gras party I've been to (and it happens to be the only one as well!)
