Mardi Gras Carnival Comes to St. Martin’s!

  • February 24, 2012

Fat Tuesday (aka Shrove Tuesday) found the Residents, staff and volunteers in full party mode for the Mardi Gras Carnival. Everyone enjoyed the sights, sounds, activities and smells of a real Mardi Gras…so much so you might have thought you were on Bourbon Street!

Everyone savored the freshly made beignets and cafe au lait … the smells alone made one hungry. This was followed by our good friends, the Oblate Sisters of Providence and New Orleans natives, who told us a little about the traditions of Mardi Gras and led us all in the traditional “Second Line,” a Mardi Gras dance, complete with umbrellas. As they led the dance, several Residents and staff joined in or took a chance at several carnival games including the doubloon toss.
