Cotillion Mardi Gras

One of the festivals we at Lake San Marcos love to experience is Mardi Gras. This party, held at the Country Club on March 24th, was as colorful and authentic as you can get.

The Committee who produced the affair: Ken and Norma Beall, Terri and Tom Strathairn, Dian and Art Pedersen and Carol and Don Alexander.

That's me with Darlene and Wally.

Evie and Gene Williams with Lisa Seiler and Sue Bubnack.

Lee Abel shares a table with Les Moore and Juanita Reep. Carol Alexander (masked) visits with them.

The tables and centerpieces were quite colorful and festive.

Jane Brown in splendid pink feathers attended with Les Loveday.

Jack Anstein came with Sylvia Sherwood wearing a very exotic mask.

"Chief Thunder Thud"

Peter and Judith Bitto in their beads and masks.

Norma and Terri were our check-in hostesses.

Three lovely ladies: Mary Kreis with Evie and Carol.

George Boase (who celebrated his 97th birthday at a recent party) with Shirley Johns. Don't miss the video of George and Shirley below.

Renate and Edgar Engert in matching Mardi Gras splendor.

Vern Peckham and Pat Jordan wearing vibrant masks.

Oscar and Virginia Zoebisch, also in coordinated Mardi Gras accessories.

I ordered our masks from New Orleans. They are nice but not nearly as elaborate as some, as you can see.

Dian and Art, who chaired this event. They did a magnificent job--even down to our jambalaya entree.

Tom and Tink who wore an elegant purple velvet coat that once belonged to her aunt.

For the last dance of the evening we requested music for a conga line.

Be sure not to miss the video of George (at 97) dancing with Shirley.
