#MardiGras is upon us! And today’s guest is the Board Chairman for Mardi Gras Southeast Texas, Tim Romero.
Now celebrating its 33rd year, Mardi Gras Southeast Texas is family friendly and there are many ways to get involved this weekend from joining or watching a parade to catching live entertainment and the carnival. The event is actually a fundraiser with proceeds benefiting 14 area non-profits!
It all starts on Thursday (February 8) and runs through Sunday (February 11). Tim will give us the rundown of all the festivities this weekend.
