What a fantastic evening we had at our 16th Annual Mardi Gras Party! The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, and the vibrant colors of the decorations added to the festive spirit. We're thrilled to announce this year's royal winners: Mardi Gras King Tim Sanders from WTWO and Mardi Gras Queen Stacey Thacker from North American Lighting. Let's extend our warmest congratulations to them both!
A big thank you goes out to all our king and queen candidates: Christopher Olsen, John Swaner, Pam Chamberlain, and Delilah Rixner. Your participation added an extra layer of fun to the event.
We're incredibly grateful to our title sponsor, the Terre Haute Casino Resort, for their invaluable support. Their partnership helped make the evening possible, and we're truly appreciative of their generosity.
The night was filled with fantastic entertainment, courtesy of the Big Fun Band and members from the Community Theater. Their performances kept everyone entertained and added to the lively atmosphere. And a special shoutout to J Gumbos for providing delicious food that kept our guests satisfied throughout the evening. Our hosts at the Zorah Shrine kept the drinks flowing and provided the perfect venue for a party!
We also want to express our gratitude to all who generously donated to the Swope Art Museum through Mardi Gras. Your contributions will go a long way in supporting the museum's exhibitions, programs, and events, ensuring that art continues to enrich our community.
As we look back on this memorable Mardi Gras celebration, we want to thank everyone who contributed to its success. Here's to more years of joyous celebrations and community support! 🎉🎭👑
