Mardis Gras Texas Style

Down in Louisiana, there’s Mardis Gras; in other places, there’s Fat Tuesday with Pancakes; here at St George Orthodox Church, just before we give up meat for Lent, there’s the annual Country Western BBQ & Dance!

That’s DJ Lisa warming up the crowd for …

This guy and his band.

Can your priest do this?

The stunned crowd struggles to keep up with Fr John’s hand jive.

It was a rousing performance, which just tuckered some fellers out:

But the young and young at heart got their boots scootin’ …

Dummy.

“Hey! Who you callin’ dummy?”

“Y’all have a happy Meatfare Sunday and Cheese Week, ya hear?!”

Nice looking pics – thanks to Greg Quartaro; pics that look like they were taken by a priest who forgot his camera (but had his phone) … by me.

The annual Country Western BBQ & Dance is an event hosted by the Fellowship of St John the Divine.
