Colorado Party ‘25: Let the Good Times Roll!
Jerry Maglio and Marilu Trainor
The Colorado Party planning krewe has put the finishing touches on PebbleCreek’s version of an evening in River City for Feb. 27. “Pardi” Gras ’25 will be filled with fun, great food, a fantastic band, and many festive revelers wearing costumes, masks, hats, and beads to add to the merriment.
Partygoers will feel like they’re in the heart of the French Quarter with the most authentic expression of New Orleans during this Mardi Gras themed event. The Colorado party brings together former residents of the Centennial state to make new friends and a night to remember.
Mardi Gras in Arizona
Attendees will enjoy a buffet dinner followed by dancing to the pulsating beat of the 9-piece Rhythm Editions band. “Pardi” Gras ’25 kicks off at 4 p.m. in the Tuscany Falls Clubhouse with a no-host reception where you can meet friends from the Rocky Mountain area. You can also purchase tickets for prizes worth $100 or more. Tickets are $5 each.
We encourage you to wear attire with our Mardi Gras theme in mind. Or, simply come casual and enjoy the creativity of the other partygoers.
Registration Procedures
The party is limited to 250 registrations, and as you know from previous years, this party is a must-attend event of the season and always sells out quickly. New for this year will be an opportunity to reserve your table of 10 or your desired number of seats in advance. The cost for “Pardi” Gras ’25 is $50 per person. Only checks or cash accepted made payable to The Colorado Party.
Beginning Jan. 2, you can download the “Pardi” Gras ’25 registration form posted on the PebbleCreek Residents Facebook Page, E-Group, and emailed to previous party attendees if we have your email address.
January 6 marks the official start to the Mardi Gras season. That’s also the start of the in-person registration process. Simply bring your completed registration form and full payment for the total number of people you are registering to Room 100 (located across from the Activities Office, Eagle’s Nest.) Registration opens at noon for attendees registering and paying for a full table of 10 attendees and at 12:30 p.m., registration opens for all others.
To register after Jan. 6, complete the party registration form and mail/deliver with your full payment to: The Colorado Party, 2561 N. 164th Dr, Goodyear, AZ 85395.
Seating will be assigned once event registration has reached capacity. All registrants will be notified of the assigned table number via email in February.
All reservation sales are final—no refunds will be issued. If you have a change in your schedule, you are responsible for reselling your reservation(s) and sending the name(s) and email(s) of your replacement(s) to [email protected] no later than Feb. 24. No reservation changes are accepted after that date because badges will be prepared at that time.

Indiana Party Update
Kathy Sagorsky, Judi Johnson, and Cathy Dosch
We’ve made the decision to put a pause on the 2025 PebbleCreek Indiana Party. This is due to several circumstances beyond our control.
We’ve had so much fun these past two years coming together to celebrate our Hoosier state and our great Hoosier hospitality! The good news is that we will be asking for your input for our 2026 party! We will be reviewing our options and surveying our database for new volunteers and party ideas. Please share any thoughts as we are continuously looking for new ideas!
Thanks for your understanding and patience. You’ll be hearing from us in 2025 as we look forward to our next get-together!
