Join the Mardi Gras celebration on Saturday, February 25 along with 48 exchange students, host families, and volunteers from all around Texas! Alumni are invited to the tailgate party from 9:30 - 12:00 located in a parking lot near the Strand (26th & Mechanic). The tailgate is free, but please bring food and drink to share. You may park in the lot by the tailgate, be sure to mention you are part of Ellen's Krewe YFU to get the $20 parking pass. The Krewes present will then be in the parade and alumni are free to grab a spot and watch. The parade will likely be quite crowded, so Ellen has several $10 Gate Passes to view the parade on a first come first serve basis. For more details please contact Ellen Eastham at eeastham@prodigy.net.
