Come and celebrate the climax of Caledon Carnival with music, costumes, good food, intoxicating beverages and Festive Electronical Illuminations.  Pose balls of divers intentions may be found on the grounds. Honoring the timeless quality of Carnival, a selection of festive music from varied locales and time frames will be offered,  thanks to a recent excursion in Mr. Wells' new invention.

Visitors are welcome all day long. Radio Riel will provide music for dancing and revelry from noon to three o'clock and six o'clock to nine o'clock SLT. (Listeners can also tune in at http://music.radioriel.org ) The early event is offered in cooperation with the Caledon Early Birds Club.

Seafood Gumbo and Red Beans and Rice are supplid by Rosehaven Recipes. Miss Cornelia Rothschild's exquisite Carnival beads and Mardi Gras masks are once again available to collectors of the finest in Carnival swag.  Those selected as royalty by Miss Rothschild's delicious King Cake may take their thrones and be acknowledged by their grateful subjects.

Revelers are invited to view the newly expanded exhibition "Butterfly of Winter: Visitors to the New Orleans Carnival," at the Library This exhibition may be viewed until March 23.

Carlotta Bonnecaze was, according to one historian, "the most elusive of Carnival artists, and the one most devoted to the fantastical." Although few of her designs have been preserved, an exhibition of other Carnival float designs from the Golden Age of Carnival may be viewed in the Grove until Midnight closes out Mardi Gras.
