Someone asked about Mardi Gras at the Cove and here's what's hapnin!

Mardi Gras Celebration 2014
March 3rd & 4th

Mark your calendars for March 3rd and 4th for a special Mardi Gras celebration dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of Cypress Cove!!

In recognition of this special year we are planning an expanded slate of fun events, beginning with a Mask-r-ade Coronation Ball/Dinner Dance on Monday night to announce the new King and Queen of Mardi Gras and to boogie to the great music of Dancing Shoes! The Lakeside Restaurant will be serving some delicious cajun specials. Our suggested outfit for the dance includes a mask and beads and we hope to see some really fancy partiers! There'll be a prize awarded for the best "Home-Made Mask" and (for those of us who may not be so "crafty"), there will also be some inexpensive but nice masks available (donation $1 each) ahead of time.

On Fat Tuesday (3/4) we'll have lots of fun events:

Body painting (10am-1pm) by the pickleball court;

Our annual gala Fat Tuesday parade (2pm) with some surprise entries (plan your float now!!);

Our first annual "Dress Up your Guy" Costume Contest after the parade;

And a fun Mardi Pool Pardi (3-5:30PM).

We're moving the annual "street" party to the pool this year and will be having some crazy games, music by Anthony. and door prizes to be awarded during the party. We'll be asking for donated pot-luck appetizers to be served in the Game Room during the party. At party's end (5:30 pm or so), the winner of the super Mardi Gras 50:50 raffle will be selected. We expect the grand prize to beat last year's (over $400!).

Finally there will be a special Fat Tuesday Streak at Cheeks (6-10PM) w/DJ Xavier, along with more fun games and cajun eats!

So come on down for a great time both days (and escape that Northern winter)!!
