Felix and Fingers want you to know we had FUN at the Saint Mary annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser! We LOVE return events. Our client, St. Mary Catholic Church, hired our very own Katrina Nilsen and Will O’Keefe to perform at this event. Felix and Fingers drove out to Tipton, Iowa and brought a high-energy show to a fun-loving crowd. Not only was this fundraiser SUCCESSFUL, but everyone had a BLAST!
Saint Mary Annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser Tipton Iowa
Throwing a fundraiser on National Margarita Day was a great way to get people to donate plenty! This event had an amazing Mardi Gras theme. Saint Mary’s Hall looked AWESOME. Shout out to the decorators, you outdid yourselves! This hall was Mardi Gras perfect in purple, green and gold. Shiny ribbons and beads for everyone! Whether your a resident or just passing through Tipton, Saint Mary’s invites you to join them in worshiping God. If you’d like further information on Saint Mary’s Catholic Church please click here.
To start with, our performers had a guarantee to raise over $500. Katrina and Will actually raised over $650! Felix and Fingers performed a variety of hits during cocktail hour. We also played requests such as Message in a Bottle by John Mayer and Drunk on You by Luke Bryan. As a matter of fact, these songs had everyone dancing. On the other hand, there were so many great auction items. For example, custom made hubcap banjos were a hit with the crowd, while weekend cabin getaways brought in BIG MONEY. Everyone had a great time!
Community Donations and Delicious Desserts
Felix and Fingers, along with their audience, enjoyed a delightful home cooked meal at this event. Not only was the buffet mouthwatering, but there were peanut butter rice krispie treats for dessert. This was a delicacy we didn’t know existed! They tasted AMAZING! During the Saint Mary Annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser dinner there was no shortage of music. Hence, lots of jazz and light background favorites. This fundraiser was so much FUN that everyone was talking about it the following week!
Felix and Fingers started a community donation of $100 to perform Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. We also threw in Paradise By the Dashboard Lights by Meatloaf for that extra zing. Both songs reached our goal in NO TIME. At one point in time, Katrina had Piano Man, Rocket Man and Simple Man on her piano. Will received Man! I Feel Like a Woman! by Shania Twain. Someone had a great sense of humor in our crowd indeed. Above all, there was a TON of singing. In fact, this crowd sounded like a church choir sitting at the front tables. We closed out our gig with an awesome rendition of New York, New York by Frank Sinatra. Our crowd sang at the top of their lungs and sounded AMAZING. Another successful fundraiser for Felix and Fingers!
