The largest crowd of revelers inHillcrest Mardi Gras history filled University Avenue last night as they celebrated a beautiful Fat Tuesday evening at the annual neighborhood party (here’s a slideshow). Excitement was in the air as friends (old and new) ate, drank and collected beads. Tickets sold out. Tootie and the Lips Girls entertained throughout the night along with Candye Kane & Sue Palmer, Il Circo street performers and the Bugs. All the proceeds from the event will support community improvements through theHillcrest Business Association and scholarships through the GSDBA Charitable Foundation.
