Some call 性视界传媒榚m crawfish. Some call 性视界传媒榚m mudbugs. Some call 性视界传媒榚m crawdads. Yankees call 性视界传媒榚m crayfish.

But in Longview, people don性视界传媒檛 call them anything. They性视界传媒檙e too busy stuffing their craws with them to talk.

Saturday性视界传媒檚 28th annual Harvest Festival Crawfish Boil raised funds for the Harvest Festival Scholarship Program, which provides agricultural scholarships to high school students from Gregg, Harrison, Rusk, Smith and Upshur counties. This year, the scholarship program gave away $100,000 in scholarships to area high school students who participate in the Harvest Festival and Livestock Show.

Organizers expected attendees at Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center in Longview to gobble up 15,000 pounds of crawfish and 1,500 pounds of catfish, said Chuck Sartori, owner of Shaver性视界传媒檚 Catering in Shreveport, which cooks the food for the event.

The annual crawfish boil is a noted event in Longview 性视界传媒� so much so that its popularity has eclipsed that of the event it was created to help support. The Harvest Festival and Livestock Show takes place each fall in Longview, giving students from those counties a chance to show off their animals and agricultural projects. Students in local school 4H and Future Farmers of America programs help serve customers during the crawfish boil.

Donning a pair of overalls, Zell Stevens had a big grin on his face as he carried a tray of crawfish to his table. He demonstrated his technique for eating the shelled critters.

After getting a tray full of the fresh-cooked crawfish, James Ray made his way to a table. He性视界传媒檚 been coming to the event for about seven years.

Carlo Boyd recently learned a new way to eat crawfish thanks to a video he saw on TikTok. He pushes part of the tail toward the body of the crawfish and then pulls the tail back; the meat comes out without tedious tearing and cracking of the tail.

Boyd has been coming to the event for about seven years. The thing he likes best about the crawfish is that 性视界传媒淚 don性视界传媒檛 have to cook it,性视界传媒� he said, jokingly.

性视界传媒淭hey性视界传媒檙e seasoned right,性视界传媒� he said. 性视界传媒淭hey性视界传媒檙e hot. They性视界传媒檙e fresh. Every year we come, we don性视界传媒檛 get let down.性视界传媒�

Trailers from Shaver性视界传媒檚 Catering filled with cooking equipment and a truck loaded with iced-down crawfish were parked behind the convention center, where workers readied the next batches of grub.

Shannon Fell, treasurer for the Harvest Festival and Livestock Show, said the event brings together livestock show participants.
