    The Mystic Krewe of Mardi Paws presents the Barkus Party of 2019 

    The Paws band of misfit pups and kitties are bringing the best of the bayou to Riverton in an all-out Mardis Gras party to raise money for Paws for Life animal shelter.

    Shenanigans begin Saturday, March 2nd at 6:30pm (doors open at 6pm) at the St. Margaret’s Gym. Your ticket gains you access to an authentic cajun buffet by Miss Ginny, music all night by Barcode 307, plus several other fun activities planned for the evening.

    Grab a mask and beads before heading to the gumbo station where you’ll find all of your cajun favorites: crawfish salad, shrimp remoulade, a gumbo station, andouille and chicken jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, cajun chicken fettuccine alfredo, cajun BBQ shrimp, blackened flank steak, french bread, rum bread pudding and king cakes. They will also be selling 2 oz. “King Cake” jello shots at the two cash bars.
