 On Sunday, May 5, 2013, Delegates Addie Eckardt, Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio and I will be hosting our 9th Annual Shore Team 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 delicious. 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. There will also be a silent auction featuring items from local businesses. Take an early summer vacation and bring the whole family to their first 2013 Shore Team crab feast! Don’t forget to bring your knives and crab mallets! Tickets are $50 per person with special discounts for sponsors. To purchase tickets, please send a check made payable to A Shore Team to A Shore Team, attn: David Short, PO Box 1719, Easton, MD 21601. Please RSVP by April 27, 2013. Tickets sell out fast so reserve yours now! The contributions made to A Shore Team will go toward our campaign allowing us to continue to work hard for the citizens of the Eastern Shore in Annapolis. Thanks so much for your continued support. I look forward to seeing you on May 5! |

Senator Colburn Comments on Allen Family Foods
The following is a statement I issued regarding Allen Family Foods, a global exporter of poultry products based out of Seaford, Delaware, that has recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Allen Family foods Inc., a 92 year old Delmarva poultry producer, made the announcement late last week. In response to the numerous constituent inquiries, I issued the following statement, “The Delmarva poultry industry has already been adversely affected by the economic recession, and the bankruptcy of Allen Foods will only hurt the industry even more. Since Allen has long been a major employer on the Eastern Shore, the company’s bankruptcy will cause many Shore residents to lose their jobs. Unfortunately, two other prominent poultry companies on Delmarva, Perdue and Mountaire, have indicated that they will not assume possession of any chicken houses north of US Route 301. In response, I have offered my assistance by contacting the Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Earl “Buddy” Hance, who is currently working to address the situation, and Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development Secretary Christian Johansson. I intend to continue to work closely with both departments to help lessen the devastating economic blow that the closure of Allen Foods will have on our area."
