The Ladies Auxiliary of Chesapeake Yacht Club (CYCLA) celebrated Mardi Gras at the annual event held each year at the Club.  Club members, families and guests filled all the slips and plenty of others anchored out in the West River for the 3-day extravaganza. Visitors from Annapolis Yacht Club and Solomons Yacht Club joined CYC members for the Krewe of Barkus Parade, live and silent auctions and raffles. Thousands of dollars worth of prizes were awarded Saturday while guests enjoyed music and tons of New Orleans inspired delights! The weekend culminated with a Jazz Brunch on Sunday morning with music provided by the Annapolis High School Jazz Band.
