Senator Colburn Announces 7th Annual Shore Team Crab Feast!

On Sunday, May 1, 2011, Delegates Addie Eckardt, Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio and I will be hosting our 7th Annual Crab Feast, which will be held at the Cambridge American Legion Post #91 (adjacent to the Choptank River/Malkus Bridge) beginning at 1:30 PM and ending at 3:30 PM.

A Crab Feast in the spring? Yes, you heard it correctly! We are proud to announce that the crabs will be hot, the beer cold, and the Eastern Shore chicken de...licious. We want to break the grip of the season’s cold weather and provide an unseasonable respite from the otherwise drab days of mid-spring. We also want to honor two of the greatest and oldest industries of Maryland, seafood and agriculture. Addie, Jeannie and I have spent many years in the Maryland General Assembly fighting against government over regulations and issues for our citizens, farmers, watermen, and businesses.

While the event is slated as a “fundraiser,” you can’t have the word fundraiser without the fun! Our friends “Byrd Dog and the Road Kings” will be providing the musical entertainment.

Take an early summer vacation and bring the whole family to their first 2010 crab feast! Don’t forget to bring your knives and crab mallets! Tickets are $50 per person with special discounts for sponsors. To reserve your tickets today, please send your check made payable to A Shore Team to David Short, PO Box 1719, Easton, MD 21601.

I hope to see you there!
