From Trussville Tribune staff reports
TRUSSVILLE – The Annual Cahaba River Shrimp Boil, benefitting the Trussville City Schools Athletic Foundation (TCSAF), is set for Saturday, April 29, beginning at 5 p.m.
This is the second biggest fundraiser of the year for the foundation, and TCSAF President Chris Horn said this event is vital to the success of the foundation.
“This is very important for us,” Horn said. “This keeps us from having to go to parents and asking for more and more money from them.”
The event this year will be held at the auxiliary fields next to Hewitt-Trussville Stadium, but Horn said he believes the future of the event will include a permanent location next to the river in the Greenways.
Admission to the event is free, though there will be a charge for food. A kid’s zone will also be set up with face painting and inflatables.
Four local music acts will take the stage, including Jackson Capps, Three on a String and the headliner Sidecar.
The night will end at 10:25 with a fireworks show.
“This is very important to all of our sports programs at Trussville City Schools,” Horn said.

Last couple years we could bring in our own coolers with food and drink, that still allowed?

Disappointed in this year’s Shrimp Boil and based on the smaller crowd size others were also. I’ve attended and promoted each one we’ve had but this year was poorly advertised, had no crawfish and did not sell wine and beer as they previously did, I assume this is because it was on school grounds, I don’t know. I’m not much of a drinker but it is the only event in Trussville where you could enjoy a beautiful evening, have a beer or wine outside and listen to some live music and see some fireworks. So much for Trussvilles progressiveness.
