Crab Fest benefits charities
The South Norfolk Ruritans recently held their 5th Annual Blue Crab Festival at the Khedive Shrine Temple in Chesapeake. Friends, family, volunteers, and Ruritans enjoyed the menu of all you can eat steamed crabs, fried fish, and barbeque. The band Butter provided the entertainment for the afternoon. Proceeds from the event will help various charities.
