Plus\, the organization works with Annapolis Green\, a local environmental group\, to keep the Feast “zero-waste” by collecting and turning roughly 20\,000 pounds of crab shells\, corn cobs\, watermelon rinds\, plates\, cups\, cutlery\, and napkins into “Christmas Crab Compost” that is sold to the public each December.  \n\n					\n									Get Tickets Now!
