The King and Queen election turned into a very tight race on Saturday night. The Angladas and Rincons were neck and neck for the majority of the night until the Rincons took a substantial lead towards the end of the race.  If you know Marianne Anglada then you also know she is not one to go down without a fight.  Some quick campaigning and maybe a few fancy moves on the dance floor earned the Angladas a last minute rush of votes.  That swarm of votes just made it in time to beat the buzzer and place Marianne and Richard on the top of the count.

The Angladas beat the Rincons by a difference of only $3.00 to win the ever-so coveted title of King and Queen for the All Saints 20th Mardi Gras Celebration.  King Richard and Queen Marianne earned themselves a few gift certificates from Peppers Grill & Bar, a gift certificate to Tracy’s Nails & Spa and two free tickets to next year’s Mardi Gras.

It is rather fitting that the Angladas were crowned.  Much like our DJ, Louis Najar, they have been a staple of the Mardi Gras celebrations for all its twenty years.

Congratulations to the new royals.
ALL HAIL KING RICHARD!
ALL HAIL QUEEN MARIANNE!

Overall the election generated more than $1,500 in just a few hours.  All of which will go to the day-to-day operations of All Saints Catholic School and that benefits the kids of Roswell.  Who says you can’t have a good time and still make a difference?

A Race of Honor and Distinction

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.

We are into the last few weeks before the King and Queen Election final results and the votes are starting to add up. The winners will be announced at the Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance on the 18th so you still have plenty of time to vote for your favorite couples. Remember if you don’t see someone on the chart you think should be in the running you can still vote for them.  Take a donation to the All Saints Catholic School office and vote, every dollar donated equals one vote. You don’t have to vote for someone you see in the chart you can vote for anyone, even yourself.

The winners will receive a number of prizes from local buisnesses as well as free entry into next years Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance.

This is a fund-raiser so you can vote as many times as you like and for as many people as you wish.

If you have a donation you would like to vote with but don’t have the time to get to the school you can e-mail us and we can coordinate a pick-up.
