Chips were stacking and cards were flying Tuesday night, at the 11th-annual Flagler County Education Foundation Mardi Gras and Casino Night held at Halifax Plantation. In the true spirit of New Orleans, guests donned their finest festive attire, masks and beads.

Proceeds from the event, which is the foundations biggest fundraiser of the year, will be matched dollar-for-dollar using money awarded from the state legislature to fund FCEF’s Take Stock in Children College Scholarship Program and the foundation’s teacher grant programs.
