Mardi Gras...in February

While the rest of the country is experiencing snowfall and winter rains, we in Yuma are celebrating Mardi Gras! Go figure.

Thanks to Tammy Roberts, a great friend of the swim team, we secured a booth at this year's Mardi Gras celebration downtown. We decided to sell KABOBS, and Troy did a fantastic job, AGAIN, of getting all kinds of stuff for FREE to help us out. BIG thank you to Albertsons for donating ALL the vegies for our kabobs! Please shop there and tell them how much you appreciate their support for our great team!


The cutting and prep crews spent all day Thursday and all day Friday cutting up, pre-cooking and assembling nearly 300 beef and shrimp kabobs.


Friday night, despite some initial misshaps, the booth got underway. Ron was on grill detail with Coach David, Coach Andersen was in charge of the rice, and Jenny was checkout girl extraordinaire.













There were all kinds of colorful people out there, and we had a great time! Thank you to all that helped out, as usual our swim team is so lucky to have such a great crew of volunteers!
