Attack of the Killer Crabs
Tonight the Adin Fire Department was having their annual Crab Feed to raise funds. It was actually the second night, and so last night alone they did really well. I'm not sure how much they raised tonight in plate tickets, but the tickets for the 50/50 raffle pulled in over $800.
We had salad, bread, crab, and cake for dessert. It was Mom and my first intimate meeting with whole crab, a very nice gentleman and his wife sitting across from us had to teach us how to open the ornery buggers. Both of us had two servings of salad before we even got to see the crabs... so it was quite the epic battle.
Yes, we wore bibs. Crackers were not provided so I chucked my dignity and ripped in bare handed (quite the comic sight). I won my war, mom had to have reinforcements to help in her battle.
I was very pleased to see so many faces that I knew, and to see the EMS helping out, the local Sheriff (or was it one of the deputies?), the 4H-ers, and other students from the High School, not only the Fire Department people doing the cooking and passing out of food. Mom plans to tell Bieber Fire Department how Adin's feed went when she goes to their meeting.
I should have taken the camera and gotten a picture of the guy in the crab hat selling raffle tickets. Trust me, it just fit him, and definitely was an attention getter. >_> Ok, I admit I would have worn it too if I was selling raffle tickets. Where else would one wear such a cool hat?
Ok, the beach... I could think of pranks to pull...
Dinner was so good, we had to bring home extra. There is now a crab in the fridge, waiting to strike with it's deadly deliciousness. Oh... my belly... It hurts... Too much food... I hear it mocking me!
