Shelby Van Horn, Cass County Youth Coordinator, reports “Cass County 4-H Clubs would like to invite the public to attend their annual 4-H Mardi Gras carnival on Sunday, March 8.” Mardi Gras includes fun, food, & carnival-type games for kids of all ages. The event is scheduled from 2:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M. at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic. We are so excited to offer many activities for families.” Activities this year include: Family Mardi Gras Photo Booth, Ring Toss, Dessert Walk, the ever popular Youth Council Mardi Gras Jail, boot toss and much more! Several clubs will also be selling snacks for attendees to enjoy, including a Walking Taco Stand and pop floats to go.

The Youth Action Committee and Youth Council are sponsoring this county-wide event and would like to invite all Cass County families to come out and join the fun. It is intended to be a low cost, family-friendly event for everyone in the county. “You don’t have to be in 4-H to attend,” shared Van Horn, “all are welcome!” Admission is free and game tickets cost $.10 each. Each 4-H club determines how many tickets to charge to play their game.

All proceeds from the event benefit the 4-H clubs, Youth Council, and the Cass County 4-H Program.
