Crab Crawl Festival Submits to Mean Ol’ Mother Nature, Moves Indoors

The scene at C Street Market Square early Saturday morning

All last night, LoCO was hearing that wind thinking, “Dammit! I’m going to have to go hunt down my trash can in the morning?”

Well, it could have been worse. We could have been planning a major seafood festival. 

As you can see above, last night’s winds claimed some of the structures set up for today’s debut Crab Crawl Festival. So severe was Mother Nature’s beating, organizers have cried “retreat” and will move the festivities indoors. Facebook confirmation below:
