The Creative Arts Guild of Dalton, Ga., will celebrate its fourth annual Low Country Boil on Saturday, June 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. The summer party is held in the Guild’s covered Spigel Pavilion, 520 W. Waugh St. in Dalton.
This Low Country Boil is a fun, lighthearted “welcome to summer” event. The dress is beach casual – Hawaiian shirts, sundresses, shorts, flip-flops or sandals – and guests enjoy great food, craft beer, a sangria bar, lemonade or tea before dancing to beach music by Ginny and the Tonics.
The competing cooking teams have already started some good-natured trash talk. Teams cooking in this fundraiser include Creswell Culinary Co., Dalton Swingers Softball Team, Shrimptastic (Friendship House team), Holy Smokes Cooking (Christ Church), Habeas Crawfish (Nemirow Perez P.C.), Royal Oaks Rougarous, Supper Club and Pink Flamingos (Westwood School).
Before the band gets started, guests will vote for their favorite teams and recipes for the People’s Choice Award. Other awards to be presented are Judges’ Favorite, Best Boil Recipe, Best Kitchen Décor and Most Annoying Trash-Talk.
Tickets for the benefit are $25 adults, $10 students, free for children 5 and younger. A child’s meal of hot dogs and macaroni and cheese is included.
