The program still allows room for possibly one or two more bands. If you want to share your jazzy/bluesy (or other) music with the Keweenaw let us know!

Featured food will be the following: red beans and rice with or without medium or hot sausage, gumbo (regular and vegetarian), Cajun-style salad, Cornbread and dessert.
Twin Lakes Java will be selling their famous fresh roasted, fresh ground, fresh brewed coffee. Pre-schoolers eat free, and we are offering family discounts.
*Advance tickets may be purchased in Mohawk at the Horizons School Office, Keweenaw Krayons and the Mohawk Superette, as well as at the following businesses: Twin Lakes Java; 5th and Elm Coffee Shop and Beadazed Studio, both in Calumet; Lone Wolf Hair Den and Kangas Café, both in Hancock; and The Mariner North in Copper Harbor.
Update: Lone Wolf Hair Den is now sold out of advance tickets. Don’t think you can make it to one of these places before Tuesday? Just call 906-337-4706, and we’ll set tickets aside for you to pick up at the door!
In addition to the food and music there will be mask making, an art sale and a silent auction. One of the new items featured in the silent auction will be coffee mugs, hand-painted by local artists.
This FUN Fundraiser sees Keweenaw Krayons partnering with Horizons Alternative High School S.T.A.R.S. Program. All profits will be shared 50/50. S.T.A.R.S. stands for Success, Teamwork, Achievement, Recognition and Self-Esteem. In 2008 Horizons was named "Michigan Alternative School of the Year," and some of the profits from this year’s Mardi Gras will go towards Horizons’ expenses to travel to Lansing for the 2009 competition. Keweenaw Krayons will use their profits to keep their doors open and their programs free or low cost!
Call 906-337-4706 or email staff@keweenawkrayons.com to obtain more information or to volunteer to play music, donate art or paint a mug. Check out the Keweenaw Krayons webpage for an updated schedule as well as a list of current sponsors and advertisers who are making this event possible.
