Saint Francis Catholic Academy holds Annual Mardi Gras party

Fat Tuesday is celebrated the day before Lent and one local academy in Gainesville celebrated big.

Saint Francis Catholic Academy held its annual Mardi Gras Party on Monday. There were food trucks, a parade, awards, and the crowning of a king and queen.

It wouldn't be Mardi Gras without a King Cake, so of course, the staple made a brief appearance.

Overall, the celebration was a success, given last year's was rained out, but it was nothing but cool temperatures.
