Mudbug lovers have the additional option to order in advance for boiled crawfish platters at 2 lb. for $10 or 4 lb. platters for $20. You can order as many platters in any combination to get just the amount of crawfish you want. Corn and potatoes come with the platters (while it lasts) and are not included in the weight. Note: there may be extra crawfish available for purchase on the day of event, but we can only guarantee what is ordered by May 2nd^th to know how much to bring in from Louisiana. Also note that while we will have bottled water while it lasts, this is a “bring your own beverages” event, so don’t forget to bring your cooler with your preferred beverages.

Raffle Prizes: There will be over 30 door prizes given away, including restaurant certificates, LSU hats, shirts and other gear, Community Coffee gift baskets and coffee, and more. Everyone gets one ticket with admission, and you will be able to obtain more when you check in. Proceeds go to our scholarship endowment fund.

Live Auction: In addition to sponsoring our live band, Duffy Realty Co. will also provide a professional auction team to provide an entertaining experience! Rhonda Duffy is not only the top real estate agent in Georgia, she is also a licensed auctioneer and has offered to “kick it up a notch” for a truly fun charity auction. The star item will be the 2009 Alex Box Stadium Dedication First Pitch Ball autographed by Alex Box' namesake, Paul Manieri and Skip Bertman. Mr. Box (an Augusta resident) will be at the boil too!. Plus pairs of 2010 LSU Football home game tickets, a crawfish boil for ten by Boudreaux's Cajun Market and Cafe, and maybe more.

Silent Auction: Too many items to mention now. Complete list of cool stuff will be sent out soon!

"Tailgate" at the Boil: This was a big hit last year, and you are again welcome to bring your own canopy and tailgate coolers and setups to transform the open lawn area into “Touchdown Village.” (Note: The Corps of Engineers prohibits vehicles on any grass areas of the park.)

If you have any questions about the event, email us at events@LSUatlanta.com.
