A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to our Cajun Crawfish Boil at Fleur-de-lis Farms - we truly appreciate the support from our amazing community!

We also want to give a special shoutout to our incredible sponsors for helping make this event possible. We couldn’t have done it without you.

A big thank you as well to our friends at The Underground Kitchen for the amazing bread pudding - it was a crowd favorite!

Mother's Little Helpers Rolling Stones Band absolutely nailed it with the Rolling Stones classics - the soundtrack couldn’t have been better.

And yes… we’ll admit it - we completely dropped the ball on taking photos this time. But sometimes that just means everyone was too busy enjoying the moment!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us. We can’t wait to do it again next year!
