ST. LOUIS • The annual Mardi Gras "Mayor's Ball" will be missing its mayor.
Mayor Francis Slay has presided over the black tie gala at City Hall for more than a decade. But this year, the masked, costume soiree will happen without its signature host.
Slay, along with his Deputy Chief of Staff Patrick Brown, will be in New Hampshire knocking on doors for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
The ball, set for Friday evening, is a fundraiser for the Mardi Gras Foundation, which plans and operates the event.
"Anne Schweitzer who worked in my reelection campaign three years ago invited me to volunteer," Slay told the Post-Dispatch. "Many voters make up their minds during the final days of the election. I hope to make that decision clearer for them."
Schweitzer has been working in New Hampshire for Clinton for several months.
Slay added: "I look forward to being able to remind the President of the United States that the mayor of St Louis walked through some snow for her on Super Bowl weekend."
