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?

The Race Has Begun!

What race you ask. The King and Queen election race of course. I was just given today monetary votes for one of our nominated couples.

Let me explain how this works. Every year we have a couple crowned as King and Queen of Mardi Gras. You can nominate friends, family members or yourself by writing the nominees’ names on a nomination envelope and filling it with dollars (votes).

Yes, our election works just like a real one. The candidates with the most money win.

You can see by our graph down below that Marianne and Richard have already hit the ground running. They’re not going to waste any time waiting for Saturday night to campaign for votes. Winning King and Queen of the twentieth is kind of a big deal.

I know what your going to say. “They’re so far ahead there’s no way to catch them.” Now that’s not true. They just happen to have a little bit of a head start. If you want to beat them your just going to have to work a bit harder on Saturday night.
