Last Year’s Mardi Gras
Here in Bear River we are really fortunate that musicians like to come and play here.
These videos and photos depict a previous Mardi Gras when Joe Murphy and the Water Street Blues Band, helped along by Juno award winner Garrett Mason, came to play.
The place was rocking and the longer the band played, the better they got.

In past years people have come from far and wide and danced the night away.
