United Way holds crab boil fundraiser

The local United Way held its Second Annual United Way Crab Boil fundraiser Saturday at Beaver Creek Golf Course and raised about $23,000.

The event, which is intended to kick off the season’s fundraising which officially begins Oct. 1, started at 5 p.m. with cocktail hour, followed by the crab boil at 6 p.m.

United Way Executive Director Jessica Nebel said the event was “fantastic.” It sold out, with about 150 guests filling 17 tables.

“Nobody left hungry,” she said. “I didn’t hear one complaint. All I heard were toothpicks.”
