The hermit crabs have arrived!
April 26th, 2007
The hermit crabs are in and are available for viewing in the Lakeside Restaurant. They are all thoroughbreds, I assure you. In case you have no idea what hermit crab races are, I certainly didn’t, let me explain.
We have an aquarium full of hermit crabs crawling around and all over each other. You pick out a crab and provide him a name for the races. All the crabs are then placed on the center of a large round table, the racetrack, under a lid. When the race is ready to begin, the lid is lifted and the hermit crabs all begin to scurry towards the edge of the table. Once a crab crosses the finish line (the finish line is a circle, so it’s the same distance no matter which direction they run), he is named the winner and pulled out from further races. The rest of the crabs are then pushed back into the center for the next race. After 10 or so races, there is a championship round using just the winning crabs. The sponsor of the champion crab for the night wins a chance at a nice prize.
It may sound silly, but I guarantee you it’s a lot of fun. Come down now and look the crabs over. Then be there race day on May 4th for the first races at 7:30 pm in the Lakeside Restaurant. Be sure to show up early so you can pick out your crab!
