Mardi Gras is one of the biggest money making events the Pleasanton Juniors stage each year. We have king and queen candidates who hold money making events (dances, fashion shows, family pizza night, etc.) The candidate who raises the most money wins. Last year we raised $12,800.00 for the senior citizens transportation system and $1000.00 for youth counseling programs. The final event is the Mardi Gras Ball, over 500 people attended to drink, eat, dance and celebrate the coronation. Pleasanton, California, from the series "Our Kind of People"

A banana split has one banana, three lumps of ice milk, crushed pineapple, strawberries, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. In two days of our forty-nine cent special we sold five thousand splits. Businessmen want a pretty face at the counter and counter girls have to have personality to deal with the public.
