Masks, beads and casino-style gaming set the backdrop for the Flagler County Education Foundation's 13 annual Mardi Gras fundraiser. The event was held Feb. 28 at the Halifax Plantation clubhouse in Ormond Beach. Guests dined on a "southern cuisine" buffet, enjoyed entertainment by Luis Mano and his Latin Jazz band, and cashed in gaming "bucks" in exchange for a chance at a variety of raffle baskets.
The Flagler County Education Foundation provides funding for numerous enrichment programs and initiatives at all of the schools within the district.
