Crabfest in Pescadero

Oh My! Once a year we are invited to a fundraiser in beautiful Pescadero for an all-you-can-eat crab fest. It is held in a small historic church/hall, family style, with red and white checkered paper tablecloths. The local high school children serve us salad, garlic bread, and bowls of marinated fresh delicious crab! It is a lot of fun and we leave feeling so satisfied and can't wait till next year. One of the benefits is the ride to Pescadero along the coast at sunset. Even though it was a stormy day it is still magical.

Tidbit about the church;
The Native Sons Community Hall was originally built as a house of worship by seven families who were members of The Methodist Episcopal Church. The first Protestant denomination to formally organize on the Coastside south of San Francisco, they began meeting as early as 1861; later, in 1877, they held services in the Good Templars’ Hall, which they shared with the Native Sons, one block north of the present building.
