Crawfish Fest returns to Rockwall Harbor April 16Annual event at Dodie’s benefits Angel Camp for kids with special needs * this a charity event and non-refundable. Rain or shine. Mudbug season is in full swing and that can only mean one thing – time for the All-You-Can-Eat Crawfish Fest at the Rockwall Harbor, benefiting J.E.R. Chilton YMCA’s Angel Camp for children with special needs. The annual fundraising event, presented by Dodie’s Cajun Diner, sells out each year as hundreds gather on the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard to enjoy mudbugs, music, and merriment for a good cause. In years past, generous turnouts of festival-goers helped raise thousands of dollars to help local kids with special needs participate in the Y’s summer day camp program at no cost to the families. Each year, Dodie’s dishes out more than 2,000 pounds of mudbugs in support of this cause. This year’s festivities will begin at 11 a.m. Sunday, April 16. The Big Daddy Band will be there as usual. There will be steaming platters of fresh crawfish, corn and potatoes – served up alongside mouthwatering red beans and rice and jambalaya. “The crowd and the crawfish are expected to be bigger and better than ever,” said Dan Keils, Dodie’s Managing Partner. “We’ll have some pretty fantastic raffle prizes and giveaways to round out a day of fun on the patio with friends and family.” Dodie’s introduced the Crawfish Fest in 2013 as a way to celebrate crawfish season while supporting the local community. This will be the 10th year that the Crawfish Fest has benefited Angel Camp. “We greatly appreciate the continued support of Dodie’s,” said Harold Young, District Executive Director at the Rockwall Y. “Proceeds from this event benefit Angel Camp, which helps us serve children of all abilities, and creates an environment that allows kids to explore and enjoy new experiences like sailing, swimming, archery, riflery, and horseback riding – with the support that their special needs require.” Crawfish Fest tickets are limited and on sale now in the restaurant for $37.50/adults; $15/kids ages 6-12 (under age 6 admitted free).
