Not only did the annual Los Gatos Rotary Crabfest feature delicious food, it also raised a record amount of funds to be administered through the LG Rotary Charities Foundation.

First you get those wonderful high school students smiling and serving, and you have Lissa Kreisler and John Pencer emceeing it.
And they did not run out of crab. Everyone came together to make it a huge success.
The Crab Tech Crew did an amazing job helping those who wished to bid in the auction. The spirit they carried doing this was heartwarming.
The donated items included everything from fine wine to original oil paintings.
With the tools that they brought—you know, those little forks and nutcracker things—the returning pros handled their crab masterfully.
I vowed next year I would bring my own, getting them from Domus.
Also, there were those goofy bibs:
They go on early and come off later, usually covered in crab shells and butter.
MORE FUN THAN A BARREL OF MONKEYS
The only thing more fun than a county fair is a crab feed.
Everything was delicious: two styles of clam soup, fresh greens salad, garlic bread, a veggie pasta, melted butter and a red sauce.
Not to be forgotten: that sweet and tender Pacific delicacy, the crab itself. Melting in the mouth. Yum.
Hats off to Los Gatos Rotarians!
What a delicious, fun evening, with auctioning at the convenience of a cell phone
Very well done.
