5- Serve ice tea SWEET.
6- vegetalbes- yams or sweet potatoes, corn on cob boil with a little crab boil.
Madri Gras-
"Throw me something mister" is what we have to yell to get a throw from floats.
Everything and anything is thrown from floats during parades.
In March for St. Particks day parades food is toss-potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic and cabbage. If if have some plastic veggies or real you can toss as prizes and person with most earns 10% discount or vegetables.
Pick a long cajun word and have guest find other words within it.
You can draw or write the word CRAWFISH inside one of the catalogs. Then tell the guest the first one to find crawfish at the show wins a prize. You don't tell them its written in one the catalogs. See if anyone finds it and where the look for it.
