PAST EVENTS
ANNUAL FRANCOS CRAWFISH MIXER!
We just finished our Annual Crawfish Tennis Mixer! 44 Players and about 30 spectators/crawfish experts came out last Saturday night for tennis, and crawfish with all the trimmings (plus beer). It was a BLAST! There were some amazing points played, lots of fun, lots of competition and then.... massive crawfish feasting!
Personally I did a much better job of peeling this year than I did on my first crawfish boil last year. Congratulations to Andrew Dornier who was this years champion. Also to runner up Chris Wilbanks and bronze medalist Jennifer Fell. Special thanks to everyone who attended. Even if you don't want to play, you can always come out to watch and eat and drink. Crawfish were provided by Northshore Seafood Catering. Thanks Roy!!
