Ben & Jerry’s ice cream will be donating proceeds from discounted ice cream at the event. Also, a bake sale and cake raffle will finish your feast with sweetness. Statistics: 3000 people, 478 bushels of crabs, 3400 ears of corn, 130 gallons of crab soup, 1800 hot dogs, 150 pounds of beef barbecue, hundreds of gallons of soft drinks and beer. The hot dogs and barbecue are all donated by Adam’s Ribs. "Share-A-Crab": It’s an all-you-can-eat affair, so take all you want, but eat all you take, and if you have more than you need, share with a neighbor. That way, we can reduce the waste and help preserve one of our most precious natural resources. The Cause: Annapolis Rotary members pay all their own administrative costs for the operation of the club, so 100% of all funds raised are donated to local charities. Last year’s crab feast donated $60,000 directly to local charities and non-profit groups. More than $1 million has been awarded since the first Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast in 1946. Major Sponsors: This year’s major sponsors include: Adam’s the Place for “Ribs” of Severna Park; Katcef Brothers; Ben & Jerry’s; and Constellation Energy. |
