Crab Boil Stirs Up Support
The first rays of summer, a scenic view, and delicious food brought Big Brothers Big Sisters supporters together Sat., July 23rd. What was the occasion? None other than a good, Old Fashioned Crab Boil!
Over thirty people attended the
event which was one of the many unique packages
auctioned at December’s 2010 North Whidbey Festival
of Trees, the leading fundraiser for BBBS.
BBBS staff and Board members arrived early at Kathi
Phillip’s and Sheriff Mark Brown’s home, the
Sound-side site of the festivities, where many hours
of culinary preparation and setup ensued.
Guests arrived to find a spread of crab, shrimp,
mussels, sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes on
the backyard tables – all cooked and seasoned in one
steamy pot. In addition to the crab feast, an
assortment of appetizers, a trio of gourmet
cupcakes, and cold beer was enjoyed by all while
listening to the tunes of DJ Charlie Moore.
“This was such a unique meal, everything was fabulous and we will definitely be purchasing it again if it is offered at the next Festival of Trees auction” said one of the happy feasters, Lyn Bankowski!
