God help us!

I lurked for quite a while before I made my first post... I had lurked for so long and was so familiar with everyone that Rack'm immediately accused me of being an MPD...
Who's going?
St. Mary's Crab Festival June 9th 2012
I lurked for two years before I posted. I can't remember who the person was that started the post, but it was in reference to the fatal accident my daughter was involved in.
Thanks, been lurking for years, I figured I might as well get my fair share of abuse.
In case you've missed the point of the Crab Festival, itsbob... it's a fund raiser for the Lions Club. That means you can expect to pay an entry fee aaaaand prices that would reflect covering the cost of whatever is for sale and then some padding that goes towards the raising of funds. If you are after just crabs... go to a crabhouse... if you are ready to enjoy the ambiance and support a great non-profit organization... come to the Crab Fest!I don't know about the Crab Festiveal, never been, but maybe somebody can talk me into it here.
The reason I haven't been is we went to the OYSTER Festival, and after paying an entrance fee we were hit with unbelievably high prices for anything Oyster. I would THINK that going to a "festival" where Oysters or crabs are the reason for the festival, that just the quantities being consumed at one location would warrant better than market prices, NOT higher than market prices.
Well, we didn't eat any oysters at the festival and decided instead to go to Leanardtown and scoot down 234 to Farrel's where we had Oyster Stew, Fried Oysters and something else I can't recall.. for about 1/2 of the festival prices, and we weren't the only, nor the first to visit Farrel's straight from the festival for the same reason.
NOW can you convince me if I go tot he Crab Festival, and pay another entrance fee I won't be paying for overpriced crabs?
I hate to pay a fee for the priviledge of paying too much for a local product.

EDIT: Actually I didn't know that...
Is the Oyster Festival also a Non-Profit fundraiser?

Yeah. Atheists for Oysters is doing their annual fund raiser soon as well but, they do it to fund the membership which is not exempt so, it's really a non prophet for profit event.
What if my Prophet is an Oyster?? Or Linguine in Oyster Sauce?
What if I'm raising money for an augur.. (I am getting ready to build a deck, or should I call it a shrine to my augur?)
