Another Successful Cook-Off 
Dog Tired
  
We had a great turn out for our 3rd Annual Crawfish Cook-off and raised over $1,000.00 for the Emergency Response Teams on the island.
  
Thanks go out to all fourteen Cooking Teams!! First Place went to team "Pirate's Freight",  Second place went to team "Gator Country Cookers" with third place going to team "Empty Pockets". This year we added a "People's Choice Award" which  team Coast Guard won.
  
Trey (pictured above) had so much fun and played so hard that he was dog-tired. He fell asleep in Uncle Daniel's doggie bed before the event ended.....too cute.
 
We all had a great time and look forward to next April's Crawfish Cook-Off.
