Carnival at the High Noon Saloon!
Today's image is titled , the on the second night of a massive Carnaval celebration at the High Noon Saloon. This annual party, coming a couple of weeks later than Mardi Gras usually but still in the midst of the Wisconsin winter, brings a little heat into revelers lives. "It provides an escape into a few hours of sick-of-winter, need-to-cut-loose, booty-moving music and dance in outrageous costumes with a lot of skin," declares Hauser. "The crowd did its part too, coming in costume and dancing 'til bar time. There may have been an ice storm going on outside, but inside it was hot, Hot, HOT!"
