Mardi Gras

Thanks to our Social Club and the hard work of the outgoing President and First Man and their committees - we had a wonderful party on Saturday! The turnout was amazing for our Annual Park-Wide Party. This year it had a Mardi Gras Theme and many were in great costumes!! We were met outside the door by Nettie and given beads and a huge welcome - which no one can do like she can. . . The Crossings Community Church brought out their "events" trailer - so the kids had 3 big jumping structures provided by them.
We also paid tribute to Marthmae. She has been a long-time resident with a very full "resume" of things she has accomplished here at the Village. She has been very busy during her time here. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her in her Red-Hat Grand Dame regalia - to many other were in front of her. She has a 90th birthday coming up soon and was also given a box of cards from residents. She left a very happy lady!!
After the tribute to Marthamae, we ate hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, all sorts and types of salads, and desserts provided by residents and the Social Club. If anyone left hungry - it was definately thier own fault!
After the family portion of the celebration was over - the music started and the adult party began. Since I haven't been feeling well - we left soon after but I'm sure that all had a wonderful time!!
