CRAB CARNIVAL

Welcome to the official website of the West Point Crab Carnival!

The 26th Annual West Point Crab Carnival will be held Friday, October 3 and Saturday, October 4, 2008.  We are now taking applications for food concessions and would like to invite your organization to participate.

Most food vendors concentrate on Saturday sales, but there are opportunities for Friday evening as well.  One registration fee will cover both days.  However, only ten vendors will be used for Friday night and applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.  All activities will end at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, eliminating the need for food vendors Saturday night.

As in 2007, all participants including Chamber of Commerce members, will pay fees for booth space.  Also, beer vendors will be required to sell the brand or brands approved by the Crab Carnival Committee.

Health Department rules will be discussed at a Food Handlers Meeting held in late September.  It is mandatory that a member from each food vending organization attend this meeting.  The contact named on your application will be notified of the meeting date and time.

On Saturday, meal tickets will be provided to members of the Virginia Department of Defense Force.  At the end of the day, these will be reimbursed to you through the Crab Carnival Food Committee or reimbursement may be mailed to you.

A few rules and timelines governing food and beverage concessions are on the links below.  If you have any questions concerning the above items or application, please contact me at (804)843-9200, ext. 5 (please leave a message and your call will be returned) or email sandra.willis@cox.net.

Applications must be received by September 1, 2008.  We look forward to receiving your application and meeting you personally.
