JD the shrimp has been spotted roaming around Rusty Hooks, telling everyone he meets that Shrimpalooza is officially TWO WEEKS AWAY! 🦐

He may look a little shellfish, but he’s got one important message: tickets are almost gone!

Come join us for delicious shrimp, great drinks, live entertainment, and a fin-tastic day at Rusty Hooks. We can’t wait to see everyone!

Grab your tickets now before they disappear faster than JD when someone mentions cocktail sauce! 🍤🎉
