After a very close election race this past Saturday a final winning couple was announced.  Adam and Cassi Rincon were crowned the new King and Queen of this year’s Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance.  Our new royals were elected through the very determined efforts of their family and friends.

Although the new young royals were very honored to be awarded the thrown, they were even more amazed that they had somehow won against the very loved Deacon Howard and Liz Herring. The election was something of a shock because the Herrings were the favorite win.  You can see just how close the election was.

It is possible that Adam’s rugged good looks, honorable demeanor and obvious distinction put them over the top.

We have some fantastic news. The local Home Depot has given us an amazing donation for our King Cake Drawing.  We have in our possession a Brinkmann Dual Function 3-Burner Propane Gas / Charcoal Grill and Smoker.

Thank you Home Depot, and thank you to Home Depot’s store manager Curtis Gordon. Thank you, thank you.

This wonderful donation will be used as the prize for the King Cake Drawing.  If you are unfamiliar with the tradition of King Cake, checkout our King Cake page and get the details.

The basic idea is: eat some cake and if you find the baby inside you could be the very lucky winner of this smoker.  It’s that simple.

So, this Saturday night when you come to All Saints 19th Annual Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance, remember to wear your dancing shoes and a mask so you can be entered into the Mardi Gras Mask Drawing. Bring a little extra cash for the silent auction and the King and Queen Election and while you’re enjoying your dinner don’t forget to leave room for some King Cake.

Here We Go!!

I hope everyone is ready.

The All Saints Mardi Gras dinner and dance is tonight.  Doors open at 6:00pm at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center and you still get tickets at the door.

Roswell Convention & Civic Center
912 North Main,
Roswell, New Mexico 88201
(575) 624-6860, Fax (575) 624-6863

Remember the ticket you use to enter is also the ticket used in all of our prize drawings and silent auction. Your ticket stub has the number you will use at the silent auction and for the general door prizes. If you come in a Mardi Gras mask or costume you will be entered into a special door prize drawing just for you “unique” few.

This is a fund-raiser, so your going to want to bring a little cash with you.  You have a chance to purchase a Mardi Gras mask, boa and a few beads, vote for this year’s King and Queen. There will also be a photo booth so you can pick up a little photo keepsake of your new mask and beads.

The King Cake drawing will be something you’ll want to get into. If you can get a piece of King Cake with 1 of 12 plastic babies you will be placed into another specialty drawing.  If you can get into that drawing your odds aren’t bad. There’s only 12 babies so you’ll have a 1 in 12 chance at winning, but you have to find that baby.

So much party and so little time, – LET’S GO!!!

Also, we can’t forget to send out a big thanks to all of our sponsors.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
