Nehalem Bay Crab Derby Great Success – Great Fun to Raise Funds for Local Charities

For years, the Crab Derby has been a great opportunity for the Jetty Fishery and Kelly’s Brighton Marina to team up and raise money for Local Charities. This year, it was the Muddnick Foundation, the Rockaway Beach Lions Club, Wildlife Center of the North Coast and the Animal Haven by the Sea.

It was great to see a full house at the Marina and see so many families and vendors enjoying the day. There was oyster eating, rope coiling and buoy tossing contests, raffle prizes, cotton candy, face painting, crabbing, clamming, a silent auction as well as a Grand Prize for those lucky enough to find a “Tagged Crab” all with the goal of helping those charities continue to serve in our community. Seven lucky boaters found “tagged” crabs and were in the running for the grand prize along with other goodies.

We want to thank everyone for coming and especially all those who donated to the cause.
