Snood Fest IX (9) - February 26, 2012- Details.

[POLECAT]

Snood Fest is an annual gathering of the Tidal Fish Crabbing Board membership at the Harewood Park Community hall off Ebeneezer Road (near Chase, MD) on the last Sunday in February.
We gather there to share crabbing experiences, techniques, stories, etc., to learn what's new on the crabbing scene, to feast on some of MD's finest delicacies and to break the winter boredom.
Generally around a hundred ++ people show up (give or take another hundred or so) and everyone has a great time.
There are many members of this board with many years of crabbing experience, both recreational and commercial, and a wealth of information they are willing to share. We learned a lot at the last events and hope to learn more again this year.
No one leaves without learning something they find of value to themselves.
We have show and tell sessions and various demonstrations all relating to crabbing. There are opportunities to purchase materials such as Soft Lay, Bungee, Topless traps, baskets, nets, etc., etc.
It's the perfect opportunity to put a face to a name and make new friends and greet old friends.
Some bring projects they are working on ....
Some bring problems they need help in solving...

Since the hall is rented and paid for in advance, the event is held rain or shine.

Details:All Tidal Fish Crabbing board members, their family members and their guests are invited. Cost- $10.00 donation per adult to help defray expenses and hall rental cost.
Children under 16 years of age are admitted free. It's an event that you don't want to miss.
