Mardi Gras in Hawaii

By George F. Lee, Star-Bulletin
Dancer Rebecca Han makes her way down Nuuanu Avenue last
night during the parade celebrating the start of Mardi Gras. Also
called Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras marks the end of a long carnival
season that begins Jan. 6, the 12th night of Christmas,
and comes just before Lent.
