A Big Fat Thank You!

A personal note of thanks to everyone who contributed to such a successful Mardi Gras event. What a great time! The event created incredible excitement for the market and generated amzing media coverage with 3, 6, 10 and Fox 29 all covering it. Also, WRTI and KWY NewsRadio came out. And did you see that awesome photo in yesterday’s local section (2/17)?

Special thanks to the staff of the Reading Terminal Market and Habitat for Humanity for your help, and to the vendors in the market for being so accommodating. Also, the Al Harrison Dixie Land Jazz Band for inspired music and to our volunteers who twirled, juggled and strutted your stuff.

Thanks again. Also, if you like Jambalaya, take a look at our spot on Good Day Philadelphia!

Only 48 hrs. to go until Fat Tuesday. Come spend it with us at the Reading Terminal Market for food, Dixie Land music, a parade and more! Oh, and watch for us Tuesday morning on Fox 29. Good Day Philadelphia will be shooting live from the Terminal!
