More than 100 employees wore masks and boas, listened to music, played carnival games and consumed traditional New Orleans food and drinks at the Jan. 30 Mardi Gras-themed party hosted by Lantern Hill, a continuing care retirement community in New Providence, NJ.

“Employees had a fantastic time,” Human Resources Director Graham Haskell said, noting that the Erickson Living community holds other events throughout the year “to thank them for making Lantern Hill a great place to live and work.”

On the menu were jambalaya, crab and shrimp etouffee, shrimp and okra hush puppies, mini muffuletta sandwiches, a king’s cake, Arnold Palmers (half lemonade, half iced tea) and chicory coffee. A prize drawing included Fitbits, gift cards and more.
