Quarterly Update 8, Spring 2017
What do you call the small, freshwater crayfish around here? Apparently, many things! Quarterly Update 8 is full of crawdaddies, crawcrabs, crawjinnies, and other variants that we hope don’t stick in your craw. If they do, you can wash them all down with some boomba or cane beer. Though this may inflict you with the simples and turn your ordinary event into a bounce-around (party). We don’t want to toot our own horn, but we hope this update is one to brag on! Note: Clickable links have been added to some entries; they will either take you to entries here on our website or to Digital DARE, where subscription-level access may sometimes be necessary to see the full entry.
