The KPC Parade scheduled for Saturday, February 3, 2024, has been cancelled due to the threat of inclement weather. The decision was made in the interest of public safety, as the organizers deemed it necessary to prioritize the well-being of all participants and spectators.

In light of this cancellation, the Mardi Gras Mask Making Workshop, originally planned to take place during the parade, has been relocated. It will now be held inside Historic City Hall's Third-Floor Gallery Space, located at 1001 Ryan Street. This change in venue ensures that participants can still enjoy the creative and festive atmosphere of the workshop while staying protected from any adverse weather conditions.

The decision to move the workshop indoors was made to ensure the event can proceed as planned, regardless of the weather. Organizers have expressed their commitment to providing an enjoyable experience for all attendees.

"We want everyone to have a great time at the Mardi Gras Mask Making Workshop," said Jane Smith, the event coordinator. "By moving it to Historic City Hall, we can guarantee that the workshop will go ahead as scheduled, rain or shine."

The workshop offers a unique opportunity for participants to explore their creativity and engage in the Mardi Gras spirit. Attendees will have the chance to design and create their own masks, using a variety of materials and techniques. The event is open to people of all ages, making it a perfect activity for families and individuals alike.

"We are excited to offer this workshop to the community," said John Johnson, a local artist who will be leading the workshop. "It's a wonderful way for people to get involved in the Mardi Gras festivities and express their artistic side. We have all the materials ready and can't wait to see what participants create!"
