Mardi Gras Celebration - Page 1

Trinity hosted its festive and decadent party on Shrove Tuesday, otherwise known as Mardi Gras. The evening began with dinner at 6:00, followed by music and dancing. Throughout the evening everyone was encouraged to help decorate the "Alleluia" banner in preparation for Easter Sunday. The banner was hidden away, or "buried," at the end of the party.

Moina Lucent and Dave Cowles were crowned the Queen and King of Mardi Gras and reigned over their subjects along with their ladies-in-waiting and groomsmen.

Celebrants were treated to uplifting, hand-clapping, foot-stomping Blue Grass music.

As it should be, the tables were ladened with a phenomenal feast. Guests brought their very best, most fattening and decadent dishes to share. They don't call this "Fat Tuesday" for nothing.
