It’s time for the 6th Annual Mardi Gras cajun-creole musicale and food exchange-feast/fest
Here are some mouth-watering pix to tempt you from last year’s party,
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=41617&start=30&sp=492982You should make or bring something Cajun, Creole or something to drink or snack on
Just post what you want to bring so we can keep it balanced.
My house is not gigantic, so it's a good idea to keep this shindig to around 35ish people.
Once again my husband will round up some musician types for some music, so if you play,
bring your instrument along. (we already have a baby grand), and many guitars.
Recap: it will be Sat Feb 27, from 3-7 ish
(And yes, I DO realize that this is actually officially after Mardi Gras,
but we had to avoid the Superbowl, Valentine’s, AND find day’s the musicians were available….)
We are in Deerfield, off Deerfield Rd between Edens and 294, and 0.5mi from the Deerfield Metra station.
I will PM address to attendees ahead of time.
