Celebrating 90 Years of Mardi Gras!

During 2012 our town will celebrate 90 years of Mardi Gras! The Chamber of Commerce is now accepting suggestions for the 2012 Mardi Gras Theme.  (Entries are requested earlier this year so that ample time can be given to ask art students to create a logo for the event.) The winning entry will receive a $50 U.S. Savings Bond.  Winning themes from the past 20 years are listed below and will not be considered for this year’s celebration.
