Both the Spring and Fall Shrimpfests are held in the CRRC Recreation Center (large white building across the street from the Library on the South Access Road).
The Shrimpfest was started by Lions Jack Sharp and Jack Schoettle. Originally this fundraiser consisted of a craft show and silent auction.
The two shrimpfest also include a raffle conducted over three weekends (Fridays and Saturdays) at four locations; Lowes Markets in Sattler and Startzville, Ace Hardware in Sattler, and Brookeshire Bros. in Hancock. The four club directors are responsible for conducting these raffles.
In 2020, the Spring Shrimpfest was cancelled because of Covid 19, and the Fall Shrimpfest was conducted as a drive-thru only event instead of a seat down event. In 2021, both Shrimpfests were conducted as a drive-thru and seat down event. This was so popular that we have continued both the drive-thru and seat down dining.
