The Coupeville Booster Club will once again be serving up piles of crab in support of middle and high school athletics.

The annual Crab Feed and Auction is 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14 at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge.

Cost is $30 advance tickets or $40 at the door, if available.

But don’t delay, tickets often sell out, said booster club president Christy Kellison.

Tickets are available at Keystone Cafe and Cascade Insurance.

The evening will include a dinner of Dungeness crab straight from the Puget Sound.

It’s super fresh; it’s cooked live on the spot, Kellison said.

There will also be beer and wine and other tasty items provided by booster club members.

Coupeville High School student athletes will act as servers for the evening.

Dale Sherman will serve as auctioneer for the evening  while Willie Smith will serve as emcee.

“There’s quite a large variety of items (up for auction),” Kellison said.

Items include weekend getaways, a week-long stay in Cabo San Lucas, gift certificates to local restaurants and smaller handmade items by local artists.

This is the booster club’s largest fundraiser for the year and Kellison said the club hopes to raise about $15,000.

Funds raised go to support athletic programs at the schools in a variety of ways.

The club supports a Pay to Play program, which assists students in need with paying athletic fees.

It’s to ensure every student can play, Kellison said.

They also help with team uniforms, make improvements to athletic facilities and try to help each team where they can.
