From Joe Wheatley:

Our 18th Annual Mardi Gras Party here at Joe's runs from Feb. 17-Feb 21 (Fat Tuesday) this year. Each night will feature live music, Abita beer and hurricane drink specials, plenty of beads, and king cake (with the baby inside) for dessert!

On Friday, Saturday and Fat Tuesday nights, we will have some very good magicians doing some walk-around magic (not the cheezy kind either). It's always a good time and very kid friendly except in the bar area on tuesday night!

Also, we are trying to encourage people to order ahead for their own parties...they just need to call and get a quote ahead of time and make sure we save them some food if it's last minute!

We will feature mini-King Cake danishes from Adrienne and Co. and lots of great beer specials at the locations that serve including $2.50 Abita beers! (Corydon IN has a killer beer selection!)
