The New Year is a time for resolutions and champagne toasts, but it can also be the sign of expanding waistlines as people across town tuck into annual all-you-can-eat crab feeds.

While patrons may walk away more uncomfortable than when they walked in after a full night of eating and drinking, they can rest assured that their consciences will feel good even if their stomachs don’t.  The proceeds from the local crab feeds all go towards good causes including school programs and local fire department needs.

Larry Reed of Reed Realty which is sponsoring the 3rd annual Turlock Police Activities League crab feed put it succinctly, “It’s just excellent crab, a fun event and it’s for a great cause.”

So wear your stretchy pants, pack your breath mints and prepare for a fun night, or four, as the town of Turlock ushers in the new year with the annual crab feed season.
