| A big THANKS to all of you who came out on May 8th to HELP A KID & EAT A BUG! We had our largest attendance yet and raised MORE MONEY than ever before! Many of you have asked about our final headcount. We thought it would be fun to share that and some other numbers with you ....

What's even more impressive is that David Snell, the owner of the Cajun Crawfish Co. DONATED the use of his cooking trailer and cooked all 600 lbs of crawfish for us!!!  Our David was actually able to roam around and visit with guests instead of standing over a pot all day!!! THANK YOU Cajun Crawfish Co.!!!
