The Delta State University Bolivar County Alumni Chapter will host its annual Crawfish Boil at Shumate Park, Saturday, April 14 at 5 p.m.

Timed this year in conjunction with Spring Sports Day, the Delta State campus will be a flourish of activity, including the Statesmen baseball game at Dave “Boo” Ferriss Field. First pitch of the doubleheader series with Arkansas-Monticello is scheduled for 3 p.m.
The crawfish and other food treats will be served between games, at approximately 5 p.m. As part of this year’s Cajun festivities, the Bolivar County Alumni Association will be sponsoring entertainment, including a kid’s zone and live music by Spence Melton & the County Line Band of Jackson.  
 
Guaranteed to be a fun-filled, family-friendly event, the day’s menu includes crawfish, chicken tenders, sausage, potatoes and beverages. Tickets are $12 for adults; $6 for children (age 5 and under are free). There will also be custom designed t-shirts for sale.
 
All alumni, friends and community members are invited to attend.
