The Mentelle neighborhood’s annual Mardi Gras party is Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the median outside Andrew Mooney’s porch at 24 Mentelle Park. That’s where he and the Yellow Dog Jazz Band of the Bluegrass will be playing dixieland favorites.
We’ll have some Cajun food, donated by Bourbon & Toulouse, and king cakes, donated by neighbor Selma Owens of Selma’s Catering. We’ll have a cooler with water, but bring any other beverages you want to enjoy. Also bring a chair to enjoy the music.
We’re not doing a parade this year; just a great little concert, some delicious food and time to reconnect with your neighbors after a long, cold winter. The forecast for Saturday is for a high of 44 degrees and cloudy; not as nice as today, but better than we’ve had for the past few weeks.
We hope to see you there!
