Pub Gras It's barely the new year, but Sherlock's Baker St. Pub & Grill is already thinking Mardi Gras. From January 15 through February 8, patrons at Sherlock's, 16620 Hwy 281 North, will receive Mardi Gras beads, some of which can be redeemed for prizes. To enlighten the non-New Orleans folk, traditional bead colors are gold (power), green (faith), and purple (justice). The monthlong celebration culminates with a Fat Tuesday party on February 8 featuring shopping cart parades in which staffers march around with full of beads, candy, and prizes to throw to guests.
