Please register by April 5th!

Additional information and tickets available at: http://www.kidsneedtoread.org/crawfish/

On the muddy banks of the bayou, we know that only two things make a great day with great friends even better: an extra large can of mosquito spray (I gar-on-tee!) and a great big mess of tasty victuals. Join Kids Need to Read and Chef Sauce Boss as we bring the backwoods to the desert with our second annual Cajun Crawfish Boil Charité, all to raise funds for Kids Need to Read’s literacy programs. Enjoy toe-tappin’ Cajun Zydeco music while wolfing down fresh mudbugs and other classic Louisiana delicacies. Tank up on Swamp Sauce at the cash bar. Be sure to dress all casual-like … or at least bring your own bib. With a fête like this, getting messy is half the fun.

Young’uns will be able to paddle their pirogue home holdin’ a brand new book, each a one fuh shore! Stories are treasures, ya know!

So patch that straw hat, polish those fancy feastin’ boots, and purchase your tickets early! ‘Cuz it’s sure to be a hot one … or, as we say on the delta in July, ça fait chaud!

Tis the Season

Once Upon a Time… It was a dark and stormy night… This is the tale that was told to me…: Throughout history, winter has been a season rich in the tradition of storytelling, serving as a captivating blend of entertainment and education for individuals of all ages. This enduring legacy is exemplified in Beowulf, one of the oldest recorded stories, where the narrative opens with a compelling command, “Listen! we have heard of the might of the kings,”. No matter the opening line, the timeless power and importance of story and literacy is in its ability to connect generations and communities through the ages.
