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.

You can read more about how our election is run on our King and Queen Election page.

A Quick Thank You –

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!

The Votes Are Rolling In!!!

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.

fund-raiser, King and Queen Election, Mardi Gras

The election is under way!

Every year we have an election/fund-raiser to find the new Mardi Gras King and Queen. This year we are changing it up just a little bit. To improve on the “fund-rasing” portion of the event we have expanded the time frame and area for voting. In previous years the only opportunity to nominate and vote for a couple was during the Mardi Gras dance. For this year’s election we will be asking for donations as well as placing nomination envelopes and ballot boxes in the backs of all three of the local parishes.

We have already started the race and have a few couples on the chart. Even though they have a small head start it would be easy for a new contender to jump into the mix.

Below is the pie chart with the nominated couples and their current election rankings. If you would like to get someones name in the running you can make a nomination and vote/donation All Saints Catholic School or at any of the local Catholic parishes.
