Crab and Chowder Gala
November 12  //  El Dorado County Fairgrounds, Placerville

The sold-out crowd of 425 enjoyed homemade clam chowder, pasta, endless bowls of fresh Dungeness crab and local wines—all served by local 4H and FFA clubs and their parents—plus live music by Dream and the Dreamer, a raffle and silent auction. Funds raised will support the aging infrastructure of surrounding buildings and grounds.
