Mardi Gras at the Casino Those ready for a taste of the glamour and free-spending of Las Vegas gambled the night away — but. closer to home and with ‘‘millions more at the 16th annual Casino Night. The theme Mardi Gras” lured people dressed in formals. beads and masks, all ready to win. For a mere $6 donation, players were given millions in play money to squander or win at blackjack, poker, or among others the infamous wheel of fortune. All this with Dixieland tunes in the background. A little after midnight, the casino tables gave way to an auction for prizes. A crowned John Bode acted as auctioneer, teasing the audience with such prizes as a trip to the Bahamas and a weekend at the Galvez Hotel in Galveston. All proceeds, totaling more than $3000. went towards Camp Cougar — a two-week camp held in the summer for mentally retarded children and adults. ► Sandhya A.
