The mood burst into festive colors of the traditional green, purple and gold as costumed and non-costumed partygoers mixed to create the true Mardi Gras atmosphere. The search for a description of the authentic New Orleans cuisine; dirty rice, Louisiana style red beans and rice, jambalaya, chicken gumbo, fried fish, fried chicken, collard greens and hush puppies “a la Cajun,” stopped abruptly at the word scrumptious. New Orleans became a reality as masked men and women in unique costumes danced the evening away. The Pi Omega Foundation of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity held its 63rd annual Mardi Gras “MasQUErade 2014,” Feb. 18, at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor with more than 1000 in attendance. This celebration helps fraternity members raise funds to continue to support and improve the lives of young people in the Baltimore Metropolitan community.
