Beta Theta ESA held its 16th Mardi Gras Celebration on February 18th at the Clermont Performing Arts Center. Guests arrived in colorful Mardi Gras garb.
The mood was set as guests entered the lobby to music performed by the Lake Minneola High School Jazz Band.
The main ballroom was decorated in purple, gold and green with a beautiful display of silent auction items and tables adorned with beads, feathers and Nothing Bundt Cakes.
Beta Theta president Michelle Delaney thanked everyone for their support in giving back to the community. Clermont Mayor Tim Murry welcomed the guests, and Pastor Dawn Carter of the United Methodist Church said grace before dinner, which was provided by Oakwood Smoke House. The entertainment was provided by Martin Lane Entertainment, Lake Minneola High School Jazz Band, East Ridge High School Rhythm of the Knights, Beta Theta’s Sister Act, and Sister Sandie Stacy as Patsy Cline.
Winners of the costume contest, 50/50 and raffle were announced and guests danced and partied into the night.

Beta Theta President Michelle Delaney said, “The members of Beta Theta have been dedicated to raising money for those in need. For over 43 years, we have been holding fundraisers and working to make “our” piece of the world a better place.
We postponed our signature Mardi Gras event during COVID but never stopped giving. Mardi Gras is back! This year’s event was very successful thanks to our patrons and sponsors and with their help, we’ll be able to give back to our community for many, many more years”.
