Kids Need to Read
Cajun Crawfish Boil Charité
With Chef Sauce Boss (Who Dat!?)
Fundraiser for Kids Need to Read
Saturday, April 12, 2014
4:00 PM–8:00 PM
Kids Need to Read “Back Forty”
33 S. Mesa Drive, Mesa, Arizona 85210
Beaucoups of Zydeco music, door prizes, free books for kids, cash bar, and all-you-can-eat authentic Louisiana cookin’!
Please register by April 5th!
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!
