The River Country Chapter of Ducks Unlimited (DU) is holding a crawfish boil fundraising event on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at the Creek County Fairgrounds, Kellyville, Oklahoma.

Each year, local Ducks Unlimited chapters hold grassroots fundraising events to support the organization’s habitat conservation mission. Recent successful Oklahoma projects through DU’s Southern Prairies and Playas Initiative include work on Drummond Flats and Waurika wildlife management areas (WMAs). DU and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation made improvements on these public habitats to provide critical stopover and refueling habitats for waterfowl and improve public hunting opportunities.

Ticket prices are as follows: $30 (Single), $50 (Couple), $15 (Greenwings - ages 17 and under), and include dinner and a 1-year membership to Ducks Unlimited. Come enjoy a fun evening with all you can eat crawfish, raffles, and games for guns, coolers, waterfowl decoys, along with waterfowl, fishing, and deer hunting gear. This event is for the whole family!
