Get ready for a whole afternoon of fun on Saturday, May 8th at “Bayou Allatoona.”  Please read all the event details below. As always, you need to order your required admission and crawfish in advance. Simply click on Add To Cart and then complete your total order for tickets and crawfish on the shopping cart page.

The 2010 edition will be very much like last year's boil that so many people raved about.  Your required admission includes a sumptuous Cajun Buffet, live music by Zydefunk (thanks to Duffy Realty of Atlanta for helping make this possible), one free raffle ticket, a live auction, a tailgate area, lawn games and more! Then, order any amount of spicy boiled crawfish in 2 lb. and 4 lb. platter increments.  What a deal! 

The 2009 edition of LSU Atlanta's "Crawfish Craze in Red Clay Country" returned to the pastoral settings of the Corps of Engineers Riverside Park near Allatoona Dam on April 25, a place we have claimed for our own and rechristened "Bayou Allatoona."  We will link a photo gallery soon.

Where to start... how about how we ended up?  The goal was to have a great time with fellow Tiger fans and raise a bunch of scholarship money. Done and done.  Nearly 400 P&G faithful...along with a smattering of curious Dawgs and other assorted and awed denizens of other alma maters...invaded the grounds to enjoy spicy bugs and other tasty vittles, cool beverages, hot Zydefunk music and warm company.  Some set up tents and relaxed in the tree shaded areas of our version of "Touchdown Village" while others staked out a table under the breezy pavillion.  Tons of prizes were given out and no one left hungry.

We were very successful at our annual crawfish boil on April 26th. The combined efforts of volunteers and our view-in venue staff turned a somewhat soggy day into a memorable event. Catering Cajun kept the crawfish coming throughout the entire event. We wish to thank Catering Cajun for providing excellent service and also a major donation to the alumni fund in the amount of $1100.
