CRAB/Annapolis Community Boating Bash on Kentucky Derby Day

     Annapolis, MD -- May 7th is just around the corner, less than two weeks away. For many this means Kentucky Derby Day. Annapolis Community Boating understands that Maryland is still a big horse racing state. However there is something else happening that day that's even more fun and a lot closer. The Annapolis Spring Sails Event is May 7th & 8th.
     This year on May 7th the event will feature, among other things, the Grand Opening of the Back Creek Nature Park. Later that same day, beginning at 5:30 pm, the Pavilion at Port Annapolis Marina (7074 Bembe Beach Road, Annapolis) will host the annual Spring Sails Event to benefit Annapolis Community Boating and CRAB (Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating), a full hour before post time. So even if you placed a bet on your favorite thoroughbred, the organizations invite you to join them for good food, great drinks and lots of dancing. Bring a smartphone so can watch the derby online.
      This year entertainment is being provided by DJ-JD and the local band Dirty Names. Betka of the Portside Cafe will be there grilling up some sausages, burgers and hotdogs for party-goers. Admission is $10 and benefits both clubs.

Volunteers are Needed     Volunteers are needed to help with the CRAB/Annapolis Community Boating Bash. There are shifts to fill from set-up to tear down and everything in-between. So if you are a good bartender or great with selling drink tickets, your help will be appreciated.
