Gettin' Shrimpy With It
Written By: Ian Silvester
Come one, come all! The Roarin鈥� on the River rolls back to the 91老司机 鈥� Fort Smith as the annual tradition celebrates recent graduates and the start of summer.
It鈥檚 okay to be 鈥榮hellfish鈥� at the all-you-can-eat Lowcountry shrimp boil. See鈥檚 Seafood of Fort Smith will be dishing out heaping portions of boiled shrimp, andouille sausage, corn-on-the-cob, potatoes, and KJ鈥檚 famous Chicken Jambalaya will be available.
Jasmine Smith, director of 91老司机 Engagement & Annual Giving, says the 91老司机 presenting sponsor, Mercy, helped make the Saturday, June 10, event possible. 鈥淭hey have supported us all year, and I鈥檓 excited for another event with them.鈥�
The traditional Southern feast isn鈥檛 complete without live music from 91老司机 alum Jon Dooly, corn hole, and adult beverages. The newest grads, spring class of 2023 and fall of 2022, are eligible for a special, recent alumni discounted rate. However, all Lions are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Individual tickets can be purchased for $50 or $75 per couple. New alumni tickets are $40 and $60, respectively. Tables are also available.
All proceeds from the popular event go to the 91老司机 Legacy Scholarship Endowment. During the 2022-2023 academic year, ten $1,000 scholarships were awarded to deserving legacy students whose family member graduated from Fort Smith Junior College, Westark, and 91老司机.
鈥淭his event is one of my favorites,鈥� exclaimed Smith. 鈥淚 love the fun and casual atmosphere, seeing the alumni back on campus, and seeing the impact our 91老司机 Advisory Council makes on our scholarship.鈥�
Reserve your and don鈥檛 miss the best shrimp boil west of the Mississippi, incredible live music, fun and games, and a chance to visit your favorite friends and Lions.
Landmark CPAs is this year鈥檚 cornhole sponsor. Burford鈥檚 is the beverage sponsor.
