2. There is a Mardi Gras Celebration at the Maritime Museum today. Please see the "Daily Freeman" and/or your Ward Group to get more (updated) information!

If the festival is adhering (sans parade, I believe) to the original schedule, it will start around noon and continue into the evening - via some of the businesses and/or restaurants in the Roundout area.

3. TONIGHT --- at Keegan Ales --- from 7PM until ? --- the Kingston Area Public Access (KAPA; channel 23) Commissioners are hosting a fundraiser (Put on your dancing shoes!) and awards ceremony.

There will be food, music, dancing, FUN, good company, a raffle and more!

Tickets (This is a VERY IMPORTANT CAUSE!) are $40.

Please support YOUR Public Access station --- which allows you to get YOUR voice, YOUR views, YOUR questions, YOUR idea, YOUR local calender listings, and YOUR shows

You can contact the KAPA Commissioners for tickets and/or additional info.

And, I also believe (I could be wrong, so please contact the appropriate people!) some tickets will be available at the door.
