Best Boiled Crawfish

The 6th Annual POC Crawfish Fest & Cookoff has come and gone, and what a HUGE event it turned out to be despite the limitations we had to work with! Being in the midst of a huge facelift, the boundaries of King Fisher Beach limited our space. However, that did not stop the large turnout. The beautiful weather contributed to the spectacular day of crawfish, beer, vendors, music, and dancing. Splindeferous and Jarrod Birmingham both put on awesome shows!! Everyone had a great time and from what we hear, can’t wait to come back next year!!!
