Tour de Bay: Upcoming Events

I'm sending this to you because of your interest in heritage, heritage
tourism and food heritage.
Crisfield's Crab and Clambake Wednesday was an amazing 2005 Tour de Bay
event that left adults and children satisfied and speechless. Nearly
6,000 people attended the event and local news reporters indicate that
some of the attendees continue to pick the last remaining crabs. Former
local-hero Kevin Miller of Indiana won the distinction for the person
traveling the longest distance to attend, Caz Harvey did his amazing
"butter-corn-roll at the Red Roost, and DOI attorney Jeff Bernstein is
rumored to be writing a song about his hard crab experiences.
Although the smell of steamed crabs and Old Bay seasoning may still be
with you, it's not too early to plan for the next legs of the Tour de
Bay. Be sure to mark you calendar for the following events.
* The 57th running of the Crisfield National Hard Crab Derby runs this
Labor Day weekend September 5-7, 2005. It's the NASCAR of the crustacean
world.

* The St. Mary's County Oyster Festival and National Oyster Cook-Off and
Shucking Contest in Leonardtown, MD. on October 15-16, 2005. Root for
the cook of your choice and sample the recipes of some of the best chefs
in the Mid-Atlantic states.

* The Urbana, VA Oyster Festival is to be held on November 5, 2005.
Venture down into Old Virginia among the Niewoldians and enjoy raw oysters
and more.

* If you prefer MD ideology to VA's the St. Michaels Oyster Festival is
Nov. 5, 2005. Oyster slurppers believe that this is the best oyster
festival anywhere.

* Wrap-up the Tour de Bay with the 35th Annual Waterfowl Festival on Nov.
11-13, 2005 in Easton, MD. The festival combines art, wildlife, food,
music and song into three enjoyable days.
