Mardi Gras chairman Cullum Smith and Lori Vandersloot pose as the 2008 Fort Yuma Mardi Gras gets underway.
 
This year's Mardi Gras featured the same music, food and party atmosphere as usual, and almost put you right on the streets of N'awlins!  With a gumbo contest, costume contest and two bands, Carnival in Yuma brought in another successful fundraiser for Fort Yuma.  We're already looking forward to next year with hopes it will be bigger and better than ever!
