A Boil of Perfection
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: June 2024
The Low Country Shrimp Boil, set for June 15 at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park, is a delicious boost to the park’s continuing operation. “Doors” open at 5:00 P.M. and dinner is at 6:00 P.M.
What’s the best way to enjoy the sumptuous taste of southern coastal cuisine known as the shrimp boil without the effort of cooking one yourself – by joining the Friends of Founders Park for their annual low country shrimp boil on Saturday, June 15, at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park.
Master Chef Marty Rosenfield, former owner of Lakeside Restaurant, will perform his magic in preparing this wonderful dinner for you. Marty has been cooking at this event for several years and he has perfected his recipe, adding his carefully selected spices to the usual mix of shrimp, corn on the cob, smoked sausage, and potatoes, creating a spicy broth that is perfection. We’d put this shrimp boil up against any, it’s that good. The $85 ticket includes three drinks, his signature shrimp boil dinner, and dessert. Drinks begin at 5:00 P.M. and dinner will be served until 8:00 P.M. and the event is held rain or shine under the big tent. Entertainment will be provided by the Back Porch Orchestra in conjunction with the Saturdays on Pine event. With great music, delicious food, friendly folks, and a chance to spend an evening outdoors under our gorgeous Carolina sky, no wonder this event is eagerly anticipated by so many each year.
Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park has become the central outdoor gathering place for our town providing a host of amenities including the stage pavilion, picnic areas, green space, shade trees, wi-fi, an ice-skating rink for use during winter months, public restrooms, and more. It takes a lot to keep it in pristine condition. Friends of Founders Park provides ongoing funds to improve, maintain, and beautify the park.
This “fun”raiser is a great chance to support them and have a hand in maintaining our charming little gathering place. It’s also a heaping plateful of a good time and a chance to thank all their sponsors and supporters.
There are a limited number of tickets, so purchase yours now by visiting foundersparkhighlands.org.
