2008 Ocean City
Mardi Gras!

March 7th
7pm-12am
Carousel Hotel

117th Street and Ocean
Ocean City, Maryland

Come and see the Carousel Hotel transformed into Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. While enjoying a 5-hour Top Shelf open bar, you can take in the delicious "Nawlins" cuisine prepared by the talented professionals from the Delmarva Chefs and Cooks Association.

Music will fill the air with Mary Lou and the Untouchables taking main stage, join in the funeral march with locally renown, The Zydecats, and new this year, in our Jazz and Blues' Cafe, No Byscuyts featuring Joe Smooth on Sax.

Try your luck in one of the largest silent auctions and live auctions on Delmarva. Here you can bid on many items from jewelry to getaways.

Street entertainers, magicians, tarot card readers, artists, barbershop quartet and belly dancers will entertain you as you travel through our own streets of "Nawlins".

Tickets are very limited so please purchase yours today.

The Mardi Gras Kick-Off Party introduces our 2008 Royal Court of Ocean City. This year's Kings are Adam Osborn, Mike Cobo, Chris Hall and Mike Rutledge. The Queen Candidates are Patti Miller, Veronica Donaldson, Lisa Tilghman and Mandi Wells

Each nominee will raise additional funds for this year's charities. The nominee with the most raised funds throughout the months of January, February and March will be crowned the night of the Mardi Gras Carnival (March 7, 2008). Please show your support to these fine outstanding citizens and to the Life Crisis Center and Decatur Lifesavers Jr. Red Cross by attending their events.

We have chosen The Decatur Lifesavers Jr. Red Cross Club and The Life Crisis Center to be the beneficiaries of this year's Mardi Gras.

We hope you will join us at the Carousel Hotel in Ocean City, March 7, 2008, at this Black Tie optional event. Come see our version of New Orleans. Dine on sumptuous food prepared by some of Delmarva's finest chefs and indulge in an open bar of the finest wines and spirits. Dance till midnight to the great music of Mary Lou and the Untouchables. There will be live and silent auctions to tempt you and street performers to delight you. Many other surprises are being planned.

Tickets are being sold now at $90.00 each, or if you prefer to reserve seating, you can gather some friends together and reserve a "Krewe" table of 10, for $1200.00.
