Texas Tidbits: The Texas Crab Festival

Krabby Patty In Waiting
It's the time of year for festivals! One event that caught my attention takes place this weekend in Crystal Beach - the 26th Annual Texas Crab Festival! This shindig is loaded with all kinds of stuff to do for every member of your family, including a special gift for the first 300 Moms on Mothers Day, May 8th.

The Crab Festival kicks things off on Friday, May 6 with Opening Ceremonies at 6:00 pm to be followed by one of the greatest competitions in sports today - The Texas Crab Festival Weiner Dog Nationals! There is nothing, and I mean nothing like weenie dogs squaring off in a "Dash for the Cash"- type race. it's frakkin' hilarious. This is worth the price of admission all by itself. After witnessing the Weiner Dog Nationals, everyone should be in a real good mood for some live music to wind up opening night of the Texas Crab Festival.
