It was a hot day this past Saturday, April 9th, 2010 BUT it was a great day to go to the Louisianna Crawfish Festival in Buda's City Park. My family and I went for our first time. The tickets cost each of us including my ten year old, $20 each to get in. We immediately went to the Crawfish booth to get our plate of these tiny delicious creatures. The line was VERY long. While the boys waited, we found a spot under the tree, unfolded our chairs and waited. Once the boys got closer, we took our spot on the line and claimed our crawfish plate including my ten year old who never ate one. We enjoyed picking our plateful of crawfish under the tree, each with bottled water as it was very spicy. Umm, I guess that is where the Louisianna part came from. After an hour or so, we all got cleaned up and checked out all the vendor booths and food booths. The food booths sold items such as funnell cakes, chicken fried bacon, pork chips, smoothies, old fashioned sodas, ice cones, cajun turkey leg, shrimp cooked in many ways, alligator on a stick, hot dogs, corn dogs and more crawfish.
To boot, we were full and enjoyed our 4 hours at the park. Will we come back next year? Absolutely, with a blanket and more chairs!
