DAYVILLE — The Mardi Gras celebration at Westview Health Care Center regaled the health care center’s citizens with festivities and fanfare Feb. 25.
Musician Jim Harkins provided the live soundtrack. Purple, gold, and green decorations adorned the walls, tabletops, and guests.  Westview’s considerable collection of costumes was on display as each attendee modeled looks straight off of the Bourbon Street runway.  Every patient and resident was able to select their own outfit consisting of various crowns, robes, masks, hats and beads.  Lots and lots of beads.  Recreation Director Louise Taylor and Assistant Recreation Director Vicki Ericson dressed as harlequins.
The all-important “King Cake” was enjoyed by all. The man and woman who found the baby Jesus statue inside their slice of cake were named the King and Queen of Westview Mardi Gras. This year’s winners were Anne and John Navarro, a married couple.
“Here at Westview, we celebrate life each and every day,” said David T. Panteleakos, administrator.
