From Grand Canyon Wildland’s Council:

Slow Food Alta Arizona and the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council are joining forces to present their messages of sustainable food systems and protection of wildlife corridors and habitat. Join us for a community crawdad boil and enjoy a delicious but non-native delicacy from our very own northern Arizona streams! While crawdads are tasty and nutritious, they are an invasive species that threaten native plants, animals, and their habitats. The Community Crawdad Festival will be held at Ft. Tuthill County Park, Maricopa Ramada on Sunday, August 24 from 3-7pm. Suggested donation is $15 per person. We will be serving wild-caught crawdads, potatoes, corn, drinks, dessert and enjoying live music from local musicians.

Any donations after cost will be divided between Slow Food Alta Arizona and the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council to help advance their work. Both are 501c3 organizations. For more information contact Denise Hudson or Gay Chanler at altaazslowfood@yahoo.com or Emily Omana at Emily@grandcanyonwildlands.org.
