The spirit of Mardi Gras was alive in the UNF Osprey Plaza today, Feb. 18. Students played carnival games and decorated masks while they enjoyed bread pudding and jambalaya from Gumbo Yaya’s. Hurricane Grill and Wings held a wing-eating contest and Hot Damn Dirty Disco provided live music for the event.

The next Market Day is titled “Animal Friendzy” and will take place in the UNF Osprey Plaza on March 11.
