Annual muskrat dinner

[dogg57]

Try it you might like it.
The 75th Annual Muskrat Dinner hosted by the Lower Alloways Creek Township Fire Company.

“Muskrat identifies with our town,” said Tim Burns, assistant chief at LAC Fire Company on Saturday as the fire hall filled with diners. “It's a part of LAC history going back to 1938. It gets passed down from generation to generation. If you live around here, chances are you know how to trap a muskrat.”

Burns is the coordinator of the annual muskrat dinner that is the fire company’s biggest fundraiser.

Been there - done that! Very Yummy.......hnmmm perhaps Pineywoman will consider a visit and a review. It's BYO too. Everyone should try it at least once. Of course the people organizing the event are worth the visit as well. Everyone is welcome, but get your tickets early. They sell out fast. I had plans this past weekend or I would have gone.
I don't know how to trap them, but I know you eat them with hot sauce and homemade pepperhash.

Muskrats are a little gamie for my taste. Guinea pigs are better.
