What a surprise! Johnny Gumbo (John Ryan) returned, if only in a larger-than-life photo, to celebrate Fat Tuesday at the Southington Rotary's annual Mardi Gras Night fundraiser at Anthony Jack's Wood-fired Grill. The former co-chair of the event has picked up his roots and moved out west where he has become involved with the Armed Forces & Aerospace Museum in Spokane.Guests feasted on Cajun favorites and were entertained by the very hot D. Smith Blues Band with saxman John Smayda sitting in for a few spirited numbers. A portion of the night's proceeds will benefit the Bread For Life soup kitchen in Southington. - See photos!
The Rotary Club of Southington would like to thank Barry DePaolo and Cheryl Moran, owners of Anthony Jack's, for being such gracious hosts (we could not do this without you) and Pat Giamatteo of Rogo Distributors for donating the beer for the event. Hope to see everyone again next year on FAT TUESDAY!
