Charleston Crab Feed draws 1,200 visitors
Posted by Webmaster on Feb 18, 2009 in Crabbing in Oregon
Charleston’s annual Crab Feed brought in droves of about 1,200 people who happily gave their sweethearts crab for Valentine’s — or for the Sesquicentennial, depending on who you talk to.
But after the meal, many local businesses benefited from the fundraising event, as the diners checked out what the fishing town had to offer. Mel Campbell, a Wild Woman of Charleston who also operates the information center, said shops such as Charleytown Marketplace and Chuck’s Seafood saw double the business as they would see on a regular weekend.
