Two of Mentelle neighborhood’s favorite annual events will be coming up in the next few months. Our third annual Mardi Gras parade will be Saturday, Feb. 18, at 4 p.m. And the annual children’s Easter egg hunt will be Saturday, April 8, at 10 a.m. Both events will be in and around the median on Mentelle Park. If you would like to help organize or carry out either or both events, please email MNA board member Katie Mueller.
