Description:
The Blue Mountain School presents the 8th Annual Floyd Mardi Gras Costume Ball on Saturday, February 25, 2017 at Dogtown Roadhouse.

After selling out last year, Floyd Mardi Gras returns even bigger this year, with two stages, six live acts, a DJ, dance acts, an exclusive dinner, plus all the usual prizes, wild costumes, drink specials, auction, crowning, and the usual profusion of festivities that have made this FUNdraiser for Blue Mountain School such a jewel in Floyd’s party crown.

Music & Dance: After tearing the house down last year with three sensational hours of soul, funk, blues, and rock, Sol Roots & Lagniappe return with even more special guests than last year. Opening for them on the main stage are Jam Sandwich and Badunkafunk who warmed the crowd up so well last year we invited them back.

On the acoustic stage, in the WinterSun Store, will be the angelic Maggie Blankenship, Flirting with Chemicals and John (The Maestro) Wilson with Johnny Sutherland knocking out acoustic guitar, folk and blues.

DJ Rahbee rounds out the night with a funkin’ dance party into the wee hours. We also have more dance than ever before with performances from Katie Wells Dance, Leia Jones and Gyroscopic. And we’re introducing comedy for the first time as Benjie Saunders joins us from Richmond! MC Scott Smith returns too, loaded with his charismatic irreverence.

Dinner & Auction: This year Dogtown are putting on an exclusive Mardi Gras-themed dinner prior to the show in the WinterSun Store. Get your tickets through Blue Mountain School. Surrounding the dinner guests will be the very best local goods and services masquerading as the night’s silent auction items (each with a Buy Now price) which will be available for public bidding after the dinner.

Floyd Mardi Gras, as always, is filled with fun, festive treats.

These include:
• Prizes, prizes, prizes! Mickey G’s is again offering Chef’s Choice for Two for the best costume, and plenty of other prizes will be announced through the night. We also have grab bags in the auction room–surprise yourself for just a few bucks!
• Blackjack returns in the auction room, for anyone wanting a bit of a flutter.
• Michael Keyes’ Photo Booth was a huge hit last year, so come again and get your Mardi Gras get-up photographed by a professional!
• The Crowning of Floyd’s Mardi Gras King and Queen. Who will the honors be bestowed upon this year?
• Mardi Gras-themed food, drink specials from Foggy Ridge Cider and Chaos Mountain Brewing, free Buffalo Mountain Kombucha for designated drivers and much more!
• The Kiddy Gras Pajama Party returns at the June Bug Center so your kids can party while you do.

Tickets are $15.00 in advance and $20.00 at the door (if available). Tickets can be purchased online at: http://dogtown-roadhouse.townvustore.com/.
