The 2010
Mardi Gras Celebration

Even though snow forced postponement of the Mardi Gras Celebration, we are delighted that it has been rescheduled for a new time and place. (the original site was not available). We realize this is a three day weekend that includes Valentine's Day, but we hope this provides an attractive opportunity for celebration! Same great New Orleans style cuisine (Food from the cancelled event was donated to a center for homeless men in Rockville, operated by the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless), Beer and wine, featuring Tupper's Hop Pocket Ale and the swinging sounds of the Next Step Dixieland Band.
Plus incredible silent and live auction items.
