Crab Feed Meeting

Since I don’t talk my note board to the Crab Feed there is little that I can report on accurately.  Anyway, we had our Crab Feed.  Larry Bradley led us in singing, I think, God Bless America.  Tod Kimmelshue gave the invocation.  We had good crab and shrimp with a salad, pasta and dinner rolls.

A lot of people were bidding on the silent auction and on the 7 cakes.

A drawing was held for the whiskey bottle group and the tequila bottle group.

All the rest of this report is in the photos below.  The first group were taken in the morning of the preparations and decorations.  The remainder were during the event.
