Average crawfish prices fall yet again after Easter weekend
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Crawfish prices continue to drop in Louisiana after the Easter weekend.
According to The Crawfish App, costs went down by $.50 cents per pound this week.
The decrease in live and boiled crawfish prices led to retailers dropping their prices.
The average price for live crawfish is $2.60 per pound, while boiled crawfish will cost about $4.99 per pound.
This comes one week after boiled crawfish cost approximately $5.50 per pound.
The Crawfish App said a sack of live crawfish can be purchased for under $100 this weekend.
Experts believe that crawfish will be even cheaper next month.

Summer camp fills up in Flossmoor with the over-65 crowd
It's been a terrible year for Homewood resident Danie Van Vliet. Her family's home in Chicago Heights burned down in January. A few days later, her mother-in-law died. A few weeks ago, she suffered a broken leg. But rather than considering herself cursed, she called herself 'blessed' after her community and fellow church members pitched in to lend her family support and money. The cluster of misfortune also led to the hatching of a new program at the church meant to help older members of the community as Van Vliet headed up the Flossmoor Community Church's first Senior Summer Camp. The camp opened up Tuesday in the church's Fellowship Hall and will run each Tuesday through August. 'We were incredibly supported by this community and that was a gift to me,' Van Vliet said. 'I want to give back in some way. That was a part of it. I saw this opportunity to give back to a community that has given me a lot.' The idea came to her while she was at the church on Easter Sunday, and the program's particulars came together shortly afterward. 'I'm a visiting member of this church and I've noticed that 70% of our congregation is over 60,' Van Vliet said. 'We do things for minorities. We do things for youths. We do things for the LGBT-plus population. But there wasn't much available for the elderly population.' They signed up 20 people for the first camp. 'We had flyers that we were going to distribute to the community, but it filled so fast that we weren't able to put them up,' Van Vliet said. She said campers are welcome to attend as many sessions as they would like. 'My goal is to bring people together and have them meet new people so they have a community,' Van Vliet said. 'We also provide resources and support as well as fun.' At the first sessions, the campers painted rocks, exercised under the watchful eye of Ann Jackson from the Center of Food Equity in Medicine, and enjoyed some ice cream. Those treats were highly anticipated. When Van Vliet outlined the day's activities for the group, her announcement that an ice cream truck was coming drew big cheers. 'I feel like I'm 10-years-old again,' shouted Flossmoor resident Bonnie Miller, 75. Miller, who sings in the church choir and is a 15-year acute myeloid leukemia survivor, was the center of some drama and comedy during the first camp. While Jackson was putting the group through some chair exercises, Miller's right wrist made contact with her chair. She had a medical alert bracelet on the wrist and the contact activated the button. Minutes later, paramedics made an appearance at the camp to investigate and soon left after it was determined that Miller was fine. 'Don't you just love it?' Miller said after the incident. The paramedics were not a part of the schedule of events. But there was a 'Get to Know You' bingo game on the docket, in which campers had to meet and talk to other campers in order to fill up the card. Bingo card topics included 'has two or more pets,' 'likes pineapple on pizza,' 'likes to stay up late,' 'can play an instrument,' 'met a famous person,' 'has a landline phone,' 'can name an Elvis Presley song' and 'can draw more than a stick figure.' Van Vliet said upcoming camp sessions will feature chair volleyball, chair soccer, a scavenger hunt and karaoke. 'We want to do things that you would normally see at a summer camp,' Van Vliet said. The program is open to anyone ages 65 and up. Van Vliet, a social worker at Homewood-Flossmoor High School, said she has time in the summer to devote to this project and hopes in the future, it can expand. 'I want seniors to have places to go to all of the time,' she said. 'This is an opportunity for me to pilot a program and to show the community how much it is needed. 'Maybe in the fall, we can see if this can still be sustainable over time.'
