The event broke the organization’s previous attendance record by selling out at 240 people despite the winter storm. Crab Fest Chair Skip King reported today that the event raised in excess of $18,000, which will go toward the purchase of picnic tables for the new Nature Center on Canyon Road. Photo by Bonnie J.
