MILLPORT,Ala. (WCBI)- Folks over in Alabama chowed down on a clawdad feast Saturday afternoon.

PHI also made a stop to support the cause.

“We do have a small community here in Millport, but we have seen people come all the way for Columbus, Fayette, and from Vernon and surrounding areas. Everybody seems to enjoy the crawfish and of course we have a PHI do a air medical helicopter land,” said firefighter Brandon Shaw.
