TERRY MADDOX

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Speaking of food, visitors to this weekend’s Lacombe Crab Fest won’t go hungry. Look at this line-up:

• Tammany Trace Foundation Booth – boiled shrimp, boiled crabs, fried soft shell crab po-boys, fried crab claws and Sal Impastato’s famous crab claws in cream sauce

• Friends of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Booth – jambalaya and alligator on a stick

• Bradley Ducre’s Booth – crawfish cakes, fried green tomatoes, chicken and sausage gumbo, hot sausage po-boys, and red beans and rice with smoked sausage

• Lutheran Village Church Booth – fried shrimp po-boys and fried catfish po-boys

• Spice Doctors’ Booth – shrimp Creole

• Vidalia Grill’s Booth – grilled shrimp and corn combo

• Stanley’s Fine Foods Booth – shrimp wraps, chicken wraps, fajitas, chicken and shrimp salad, tacos, and beef and lamb gyros

• Bil Wil and the Wardens’ Booth – fried onion petals, chicken on a stick, rib eye steak or sausage on a bun, seafood and spinach volcano, and crawfish pasta

Plus, there’ll be plenty of beverages including beer, fruit smoothies, teas, virgin daiquiris, snoballs, hot-cold-frozen coffees, lemonade; and desserts.

And don’t forget you can taste all of the gumbos after Sunday’s Gumbo Cook-off at 1 p.m.

In addition, there’s continuous entertainment (see the line-up of bands in the Lacombe Crab Fest ad on page 6 of today’s paper); kids games, activities and carnival rides; an interactive cultural village; and special appearances by the New Orleans Hornets with giveaways on Saturday from 4-6 p.m.

It all takes place at John Davis Park in Lacombe on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from noon until 9 p.m.

Admission is $3 before 5 p.m., $5 after 5 p.m., and free to kids 10 and under.
