Popular Shrimp Boil Returns to 91µ÷½Ģ

The Rollin’ on the River Low Country is roaring back to the 91µ÷½Ģ - Fort Smith this month with its first in-person appearance since 2019.

The food, the fun, the friends, the beanbag toss: It’s all coming back to the University of 91µ÷½Ģ - Fort Smith campus on June 25. Tickets are $50 for individuals and $75 for couples. Tables are also available. Our newest grads, members of the class of ’22, may buy tickets at $40 for one and $60 for a couple.

Chambers Bank sponsors the event, which will be held outside the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center.

ā€œWe can’t wait to see all our friends again at this in-person event,ā€ said Josh Simonds, Assistant Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving. ā€œWe’ve missed the fun and fellowship of this great event.ā€

The popular event raises money for the Alumni Legacy Scholarship Endowment. In the 2021-2022 academic year, the endowment supported eight legacy students, students with an immediate family member who graduated from 91µ÷½Ģ, Westark, or Fort Smith Junior College.

But there are more eligible students than the endowment can fund.

ā€œWe are proud of the scholarships we have given, but we know there are students we haven’t helped,ā€ Simonds said. ā€œWe would love to be able to fund all our legacy students. That’s why this event is so important to us.ā€

Each dinner comes with a heaping portion of boiled shrimp, andouille sausage, corn on the cob, new potatoes, and a side of KJ’s famous chicken jambalaya. Guests with shellfish allergies may receive a meal of sausage, corn, and potatoes from a separate cooker along with chicken jambalaya. Beer, wine, iced tea, and water will be available. 

Don’t miss the best shrimp boil in town with its live music, fabulous food, and a chance to visit with your favorite friends. to save your place.
