Annual car show, crawfish boil coming this weekend




You’ll want to be at Mabank Pavilion early and plan to stay awhile so you don’t miss a thing at the Saturday, May 3, 2014 Cedar Creek Lake Car Show & Kiwanis Krawfish Boil.

The Kiwanis Club will be cooking crawfish and all the trimmings early and traditionally, with the first batch ready by about 9 a.m. Also by then, the chamber grill team will be cooking burgers and hot dogs. The concession stand will be busy serving breakfast items as well.

Crawfish will be served until all is gone. The 2014 prices are $26 for a flat (feeds 4), $16 for a half flat and $8 for a Boat. The concession items are reasonably priced and affordable for families. and entry to the Car Show is free to the public.

The cars will start rolling in by 7 a.m., with registration opening at 8 a.m. The registration fee is $20 per car, whether pre-registered or registering the day of the event.

According to the Car Show Committee Chair, Bill Hanstrom, there are already more than 100 cars pre-registered, but the grounds of the Mabank Pavilion offer lots of space for parking the show cars. Owners are encouraged to bring their tents for shade and to plan to relax, visit with the crowd and enjoy the day.

Entry forms for the car show are available through the Chamber of Commerce office for preregistration.

There will be door prizes, T-shirts for all pre-registered entries, raffles and 50/50, and lots of good music to add to the festive day.

The 2013 Car Show hosted over 170 entries and by all indications, a larger number is expected this year. Proceeds from the sale of the crawfish benefit the Kiwanis Club and fund their programs for local kids. Proceeds from the concession benefit the Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 64 degrees; 0.21 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The bite will continue to get even better in these areas as the shad spawn will start to take place in the next 2-3 weeks across the lake. Slowly retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days.
