Our local Ruritan Club hosts an annual Crab Feast down here in the boonies the 4th weekend in July. Here is some general information. If you want to make this a club event, I will organize it for everyone. Last year, I only had one person interested, (George B), so I didn't organize it.

Who:	Anyone who is lucky enough to get one of the 2500 tickets that go on sale (tickets sell by end of June)
What:	Ruritan Annual Crab Feast
Where:	On the Mattaponi River, King William, VA 23181
When:	4th weekend in July, rain or shine, noon-8:00 pm
Why:	For those who want their money's worth in picking crabs
How:	One hour drive from I-95/Fredericksburg exit, two hour drive from I-66/495 Interchange
Cost:	$30 per person (price reflects the availability of the Cheasepeak Blue Crab, but well worth it if you love crabs)
Other Info:	- All you can eat crabs, (they dump them by the bushesl in front of you) hot dogs, hamburgers, beans, potato salad, etc. - All you can drink (soft drinks and beer) - Open horseshoes and volleyball for anyone to enjoy - Continuous live band(s) and dancing under pavillions (mostly pop and country music) - Event is staffed with several local and VA State Police to ensure nobody gets stupid - Event is staffed with at least two local EMS units - PG-13 Environment (due to the free beer environment, but the police presence deter most over-indulgers)

This place has about 10+ acres of open-field parking (more like a lawn) and if I had enough interested, I can ask for our own section (next to the police cruiser section) and maybe a car show open to the public.

Let Tracy Porter know who's interested.
