I think we chose the Mardi Gras Masquerade theme as a result of the influence of Hurricane Katrina earlier this year. It will be sort of a Cajun-Louisiana effect with the combination of arts.

The Arts Council is affiliated with Lock Haven University, and especially since the Ball will be held at the old gym, we're hoping that this will increase the attendance. We would love for students to come out and support all of the genres of art such as theater, fine art, and music.
