Middlesex Mardi Gras set for 5 p.m. Feb. 22 at Bethpage Camp-Resort

AnnMarie Ricardi, left, president of the Middlesex County Kiwanis Club, and Kim Bagby, Middlesex County Kiwanis Club Mardi Gras chairman, invite you to Mardi Gras on Feb. 22.

The Middlesex County Kiwanis Club is gearing up for this year’s Mardi Gras fundraising event!

Tickets are going fast for an enjoyable evening filled with lively music — once again provided by the Richmond-based band En’Novation —  lots of dancing, great food and drinks, and exciting auction items. Spoiler alert: This year’s auction includes an incredible home cleaning service!

Mark your calendars to attend Middlesex Mardi Gras on Feb. 22 from 5-10 p.m. at Bethpage Camp-Resort, located on Old Virginia Street just west of Urbanna. You can party with a purpose, since all proceeds will support the children of Middlesex County. Funds raised from 2024 Mardi Gras provided playground equipment for Middlesex Elementary School, scholarships for graduating seniors at Middlesex High School (MHS), risers for the MHS choir, and art supplies for St. Clare Walker Middle School students, and more.

Table sponsorships and individual tickets are available. Contact Greg Chambers at chambersgr@yahoo.com or 832-9496. Be part of the fun and support Middlesex children.
