About this event

Come one, come all for the return of the annual RCNA Crawfish Boil in Rattan Creek Park! We will have lots of crawfish, beer, live music and fun for the whole family to enjoy.

This event is likely to sell out in advance.

Rules

1. No early birds (crawfish will be served no earlier than 1pm)
2. Must have a wrist band to eat. Be prepared to show ID for a beer wristband.
3. No Carry Out – all you can eat while you are at the event- not at home
4. No crossing the Caution Tape – Cooks Area is off limits
5. All tables are Community Tables – make room for others
6. No Glass
7. No Complaining – This is supposed to be a fun event put on by volunteers!

NO GLASS CONTAINERS! We’ve been asked to communicate a very clear message about glass containers for the crawfish boil (and all events at the park or pool) by the park management team. There are absolutely no glass containers allowed whatsoever in the park or in the pool – ever! If you bring anything in a glass container, it will be confiscated (for future off-premises consumption by someone who is not you) and you will be asked to immediately leave the event, in this case the crawfish boil! This is something that is not under the control of the RCNA, this is something the park management team enforces. We at the RCNA fully support them, they give us leeway on some other things, and we are going to do everything we can to follow their rules. They take their ban on glass very seriously and so should you! Please make all necessary arrangements for NO GLASS CONTAINERS!

Keep in mind that this is a family friendly neighborhood event. If you are NOT eating crawfish – NO PROBLEM! Please feel free to bring your own food (or just show up) and to come hang out with your neighbors! We welcome all of you in the neighborhood to join us! If you have a shellfish allergy but wish to attend the event, please message President@RattanCreek.org for special dietary arrangements.

The cooks do a phenomenal job. And speaking of our amazing volunteer cooks, we are always in need of extra volunteers to help out with setup, the delivery of food from the cooks to the tables, transporting trash throughout the event, and to help with the final clean up.

We will once again be eating social style as we have in years past – tables will be set up and people can wander around aimlessly and eat as they please from anywhere they can belly up to a table and reach some food. If you have any cold or flu symptoms, please stay home.

Feel free to bring folding chairs, your special crawfish boil accessories, any condiments you like (maybe cocktail sauce for the potatoes), pop-up tents if you want to set up a bit away from everyone, your own camping or folding tables if you want to create your own special feeding space, and of course your appetite! We are pretty well covered by trees so sunscreen is not essential, but of course bring it if you feel it is necessary! Basically – if you bring it, you won’t need it. If you don’t bring it – you will! If you plan to bring a pop-up or canopy of any type, please avoid setting it up in front of the stage so that everyone can enjoy the band. We are lucky to have “Jean-Pierre and the Zydeco Angels” performing for us. They will make for a rousing good Louisiana style time! 🎶

The community center should be open by noon if you need to use the indoor facilities. Parking is available in the community center parking lot and all around the park.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
