“
We are thrilled to expand the Texas Crawfish & Music Festival
to offer Houstonians and tourists three weekends of great entertainment,
the best Southern-style cuisine and more family fun than ever before,” said
festival producer and Spring Preservation League President Seth
Sanders. “This festival is part of the heritage and culture
of our community and we felt that the time was right to expand
operations. The revenue generated by the festival allows the Spring
Preservation League to make improvements to Old Town Spring as
well as support the numerous local businesses in our community.
The 2010 festival will partner for a second year with Texas
singer-songwriter and native son Hayes Carll, a long time
fixture at the Texas
Crawfish & Music
festival, and donate a portion of ticket sales on Saturday, April
10th to the Bolivar Peninsula Chamber Of Commerce Economic Development
Fund, a non-profit organization working to rebuild youth baseball
facilities which were damaged during Hurricane Ike, as well as
develop community outreach programs in Bolivar.
“It’s great to partner once again with the Texas Crawfish & Music
Festival, which has supported my music and career for years, as well as so many
local and up-and-coming artists, on fundraising efforts that contribute to rebuilding
and civic improvements in surrounding communities. At the end of the day, it’s
really all about helping your neighbors,” said Hayes Carll.
In addition to the non-stop entertainment, the 2010 festival
boasts one of the area’s largest carnivals featuring a variety of rides for adults and children,
midway games and activities, along with interactive exhibits, educational booths
and the best Southern Louisiana food with more the 70 tons of crawfish and the
spiciest fixings in the land served over the nine day event!
The 24th annual festival benefits the Spring Preservation League,
a non-profit foundation which is dedicated to the preservation
and beautification
of Old Town Spring, community projects and maintains contributions
to a variety
of service
organizations.
