You can celebrate Mardi Gras and help the American Cancer Society at the same time later this month.

Century’s Relay for Life team will hold a Mardi Gras Masquerade on Saturday, February 26 from 7-11 p.m. at the town’s Ag Building on West Highway 4. The featured entertainment will be the Will Inspire Band, a local favorite group with previous appearances at the 2009 Century Relay and the Teaspoon Festival.

The event will include red beans and rice, photo opportunities and a silent auction. Attire is Mardi Gras formal or costume. This is an adults-only event, but no alcohol is allowed on the community center property.

Tickets are $20 per person. Businesses or individuals can reserve a table for eight for $150. Tickets are available from any Relay for Life Century team, the Century Branch Library or the Century Town Hall. Tickets are limited.

    This is an awesome opportunity for Century…to have a “formal” Ball and have the priviledge of Will-Inspire to be the performing band! They are an awesome group. They have played at the Teaspoon festival a couple of times, played for Relay-for-Life previously also.

    The money raised goes for a good cause, plus you will have great entertainment and good food. What more could you ask for?

    @DG What made you automatically think there would be a problem?

    Sure would love for you to join us so you can see for yourself that responsible adults can have “good clean fun” in an alcohol-free environment (WITH security being arranged for already, by the way). Your $20 for a ticket will support the efforts of many of your fellow citizens who want to help the American Cancer Society find cures, provide services for patients and families,and educate the public about cancer prevention. Thanks for your concern and support!
