Celebrate Mardi Gras Louisiana Style!

You don’t have to be from the Bayou to enjoy Cajun food and fun at the Ninth Annual Louisiana Heritage Mardi Gras Festival at RoadRunner Restaurant in New River Feb. 25 at 5 p.m.

This fun family event has raised funds for a variety of people, schools and organizations over the last nine years. The event has grown into one of the top fundraisers for the communities of Desert Hills, Anthem and New River. Original recipes of gumbo, boiled crawfish, and po-boys take over the menu in the evening spirited by a live band and good times.

This year, all money raised will go to assist Katie Wagner and her family. Katie is a 15-year-old sophomore of Anthem, Arizona who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. The entire community has come together to hold hands and assist in her fight against the disease.

Anthem State Farm Agent Nanette McClelland-Miller, a Louisiana native, hosts this fun-filled event each year, importing food fresh from Cajun country in true Louisians style. “When I give a check to someone or an organization following an event, I get tears. I’ve seen the difference the money makes in so many lives!”

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
