Hi! I am looking for ideas for a Mardi Gras theme that we have chosen.  I can come up with lots of decorating ideas.  Does anyone have any good suggestions for food, entertainment, etc.?  I have never been to Mardi Gras so I am not quite sure what goes on except the shirt thing which we won't be doing.  To get beads all you have to do is go to the registration tent. 

 My son Nick was diagnosed in 1996 with 2nd stage melanoma and is now 11 years cancer free coming up on 12!!!  I have been a Relay Chair for 5 years now, this is my last year as chair, and have been involved with Relay for 12 years.  I am currently serving on the IL Task Force.  Still I am always looking for great ideas.  Any help that anyone could offer would be great and thanks!

 Keep up the good work!  Good luck with your 2008 Relay For Life plans!
