Large tropical centerpieces and cabanas greeted those attending the Krewe of Justinian Grand Bal XXIV on Jan. 26 at Horseshoe Riverdome. Cabana sponsors were treated to their own bartender. The theme was “Tropicana Night Club: A Paradise Under the Sun,” and cigars also appeared on table centerpieces. Salsa dancers were part of the festivities. Marty Johnson served as master of ceremonies, with Billy Kelly as king, Tracey Cox as queen and Larry Pettiette as captain. Monsignor Earl Provenza gave the invocation, and Limelight provided the entertainment.
