Appalachian Bear Rescue’s Mardi Bear Event
Appalachian Bear Rescue’s Mardi Bear Event will be a fun way to celebrate Mardi Gras in the Smokies! This Smoky Mountain event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25, 2020, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The event will be held at the Wild Laurel Golf Course Club House found at 702 Country Club Dr., Townsend, TN 37882.
The Shrimp Dock from Maryville, Tennessee will be providing delicious, fresh seafood to satisfy the hungry bear in everyone! The menu will include a hot shrimp boil with chicken, jambalaya, king cake and a cash bar. Daiquiris and beer will be served up to quench your bear sized thirst. You don’t have to walk on four legs to enjoy this fun Mardi Gras event, just come hungry. All the fun and good eats will raise funds for Appalachian Bear Rescue’s recent bear additions from Louisiana; King B. Beignet, Boudreaux and Jessamine.
