The third-annual Mardi Gras dance, sponsored by Old Town Bank to benefit the Haywood County Schools Foundation, will be held at the Gateway Club March 5. 

This will be an evening of fun, food, pageantry and dance.

A limited number of tickets are available. The tickets cost $100 each. The proceeds will be used to recruit and retain highly qualified employees in Haywood County Schools. Last year, the Haywood County Schools Foundation provided the school system more than $40,000.
