Restaurant owners host crawfish fundraiser in support of Dadeville shooting victims

DADEVILLE, Ala. (WTVM) - Weeks after a shooting at a Sweet 16 birthday party, leaving four dead and dozens more injured, the city of Dadeville soaked up the sun during a crawfish boil in the Downtown area over the weekend.

The event was hosted by a local restaurant, ‘The Funky Goat,’ which has played a significant role in relief efforts.

The ‘Mudda-Buggin-Hot Boils’ group from Montgomery provided the crawfish for the event. Business owners from The Funky Goat say they wanted to do something to help people and have a good time while doing it.

“Well, I love crawfish first of all, and I just thought about if I can do something I love and help other people. I just went with it. That’s what we want people to come and join us. Listen to music, eat good crawfish and just have fun.”
