One of the more elaborate fundraisers of the new year is the 41st annual Mardi Gras event. This event is put on by St. Cloud Catholic Charities.
This event is a fun, event that has great music, entertainment, as stated above, and all for a great cause, and will be held at River's Edge Event Center on January 27th. Tickets are on sale now, as well as sponsorships available.

If you are unfamiliar with what a King Cake is, it's a tradition from New Orleans that includes a brightly colored "cake" which really resembles a pastry, with a hidden baby baked into the cake. If you find the baby then you become the "king" and you are also responsible for hosting the mardi gras festivities the following year. Not sure that anyone really follows those rules, but it's fun to find the baby.
