A fundraiser for Blue Mountain School

Floyd is many things to many people, and to most people one of those things is fun. There has seldom been a resident of Floyd who knew how to have as good a time as Tom Ryan did. Floyd’s first Mardi Gras King was also a visionary with a generous community spirit, who helped put Floyd’s Mardi Gras on the map and supported Blue Mountain School in many other ways besides.

In this year’s Blue Mountain School fundraiser we pay tribute to this mountain of a human spirit in the way he would want us to: we’re going to have a great big party! (more…)
