Rotary Club of Lakeport plans crab feed and online auction Feb. 19
This year’s event will have a 1950s theme and Rotarians will be dressed accordingly.
“We’re calling this ‘The 50s Cruise Thru Crab Feed,’” said club President Laura McAndrews Sammel. “We’re breaking out the poodle skirts and rolled cuff Levis and probably a classic car or two this year.”
Tickets, which are available on the club website, cost $65. That’s for a complete crab dinner featuring two pounds of hot cracked crab and a pound of fresh shrimp, as well as tossed salad, warm bread rolls and cake pops from Our Tiny Diner.
Also available for an additional $20 is a quart of clam chowder. Local wines can be purchased for $20 a bottle and take-home butter warmers are available for $15.
As part of the crab-packed weekend, Lakeport Rotary is holding an online auction beginning on Friday, Feb. 18, at 9 a.m.
Auction items include a scenic flight around Clear Lake with Jennifer Strong, a canning demonstration with Strong, dinner for four people at Ripe Choice Farm, Tiny Diner dinner for four, a wine box surprise, Lakeport Main Street Association Basket of events, ice cream social for six at Sweet Pea’s Parlor, Bunkhouse brunch for four at Tom and Ruth Lincoln’s bunkhouse, two tickets to the wine tour passport event by the Lake County Winery Association, a day with Sheriff Brian Martin, a gift card “mashup,” Girl Scout Cookie basket, and, finally, a mixed case of Lake County wines donated by David and Natalie Moon-Wainwright.
There will also be a number of home-baked desserts auctioned as well. The dessert auction closes at 2 p.m. sharp on Saturday, Feb. 19, and the main auction will close on Sunday, Feb. 20, at 9 p.m.
