Village Artisans kicked off an early Mardi Gras celebration on Friday evening, February 18, as part of Third Friday Fling. Artist-made masques and New Orleans-style food was part of the fest along with a special try-one-on section of masques for guests who wanted to disguise themselves as a dog, a cat, or local artist Amy Achor.
