All you can eat crab feed tickets to fund local Scouts to Jamboree

On Saturday, January 14th from 1-5pm there will be an ALL YOU CAN EAT crab feed to help local Scouts (Ft. Clatsop and Chinook District Scouts have combined to form a Jamboree Troop) earn their way to the 2013 National Jamboree.  

Yes, that is ALL YOU CAN EAT…and at $20 (the same price as last year) that is a GREAT price. Along with the crab, you will receive a baked potato, cole slaw, roll and coffee/tea/punch.

The crab feed will be held in Kelso (but what a great lunch break during your after Christmas shopping).

Check with your local Scout Troop to see who is selling tickets. There is at least one Scout from almost every Ft. Clatsop Troop registered for Jamboree.
