CCL Chamber press release
Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce staff, a team of volunteers and members of the Kiwanis Club of Cedar Creek Lake are busy making preparation for the upcoming May 7 Cedar Creek Lake Car Show & Kiwanis Krawfish Boil at Mabank Pavilion.
Starting at 8 a.m. on May 7, hot rods, motorcycles, trucks, and people will start pouring into the Mabank Pavilion for the start of the popular Cedar Creek Lake Car Show & Kiwanis Krawfish Boil, celebrating its 10th year.
The chamber will have breakfast food at the concession, the Chamber Grill Team will be getting the grill fired up for burgers and the Cedar Creek Lake Kiwanis Club volunteers will be starting to cook crawfish and all the trimmings.
Entry forms for the Car Show are available through the chamber of commerce office. There will be door prizes, a free t-shirt for all pre-registered entries, raffles and 50/50, and lots of good music to add to the festive day. The 2015 Car Show hosted 192 entries and by all indications and early entries, a larger number can be expected this year.
Registration for the show will start at 8 a.m., judging will begin at 11 a.m. and the awards will be presented at 3 p.m.. The Show is over when all of the awards have been handed out. The cost to enter is $20, with the proceeds going to the Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.
The Cedar Creek Kiwanis Club will be serving crawfish (or “mud bugs”, if you prefer) with all the trimmings. For those folks who don’t care for the crawfish experience, the Chamber of Commerce Grill Team will be serving hot dogs and hamburgers. Besides the grill orders, other concession food and drinks will be available and souvenir t-shirts and other items will be on sale throughout the day. The Kiwanis Club has new cookers this year and they will have the first batch of crawfish ready at around 8:30 a.m. They’ll serve till all is gone. Veterans of the event recommend an early arrival for crawfish, as it sells fast. Proceeds from the sale of the crawfish benefit the Kiwanis Club and funds their programs for local kids.
Krawfish prices are $8 for a “Boat” that feeds 1, $15 for a “½ Flat” that will feed 2, and $26 for a full “Flat” that will feed 6.
Mark your calendar today so you won’t miss out on this day of family fun. Admission and parking are free, there’ll be a charge for food, beverages, souvenirs, raffle tickets and “People’s Choice” votes.
