The Hop, Potawatomi celebrate Fat Tuesday with Mardi Gras entertainment

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- It sounded like Fat Tuesday in New Orleans at Cathedral Square Tuesday morning. 

That was one of the stops for a New Orleans-style brass band as it rode The Hop streetcar through downtown. 

Potawatomi Casino, which sponsors free rides on The Hop, brought the band on board to promote a Fat Tuesday party. 

"Got the marching band back there tonight. We've got tarot readers, we've got great entertainment throughout the casino. Beads, marching band, showgirls, it's Bourbon Street North," said Ryan Amundson, PR Manager at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.
