Nearly 3,000 Let Good Times Roll at Woodforest Crawfish Carnival

By  | 

MONTGOMERY, TX – Almost 3,000 people enjoyed a kaleidoscope of crunchy crustaceans, carnival rides and colorful fun at the Woodforest Crawfish Carnival April 6.

Mounds of crawfish and a Ferris wheel highlighted the inaugural event, which was held at Christine Allen Nature Park in the Montgomery County community. Other activities included Zydeco music, a carousel, carnival games and food, crawfish races, inflatables, a stilt walker, a photo booth, and more.

“This was so much fun,” said Woodforest Marketing Director Faith Pitman. “We worried that early storms might dampen attendance, but that turned out to not be a problem. Thousands of people came out for a fun afternoon.”
