DAY 1: PREP WORK! 🦐💙
Day 1 is a FULL day of preparation, requiring 13–15 hours of hard work, dedication, and teamwork! From preparing 5,000 pounds of shrimp to hand-dipping more than 5,000 cups of potato salad and getting all the corn ready, there is so much that goes on behind the scenes to make this event possible!
It truly takes a TEAM, and we are beyond grateful for our life members who step in to help fill the roles of our current members, along with the aunts, uncles, husbands, grandparents, friends, and countless others who show up and give their time.
With 60+ people working throughout the day, this is a true testament to what can happen when a community comes together for a common purpose. We could not do it without each and every person who gives their time, energy, and heart to make this event a success!
It takes a village, and we are so thankful for ours! 💙👑🦐
