A little of New Orleans made an appearance in Crockett Saturday at the fourth
annual Crockett Mardi Gras Festival on Second Street.
The Crockett Chamberof Commerce, which hosted the event, encouraged festival-goers to dress in Mardi Gras costumes and join the fun, which also was a fund-raiser for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The weather cooperated as an outdoor stage featured live jazz, blues and rock 'n' roll music. Street performers, booths with vendors selling arts, crafts and other items, face-painting and more lent the appropriate good-times-roll feel to the festival.An evening concert in the John Swett High School auditorium featured jazz singer Mary Stallings, the Neo Classsical Jazz Ensemble and the Terry Henry Trio.
For more information on the Crockett Chamber of Commerce and upcoming events, call 510-787-1155."
