The South Norfolk Ruritans celebrate the season with a blue crab festival
Mounds of blue crabs, tasty barbeque, cole slaw and hush puppies, as well as Southern Blend, one of Hampton Roads' favorite bands, attracted hungry fans from all over for an afternoon of fun for a good cause. The event raised funds for scholarships for local teens and other community projects supported by Ruritans throughout the year.
