When long time KP Civic Center volunteer and
board member Loyd Miller heard that there
were no plans to continue the organization’s
almost annual fundraising Crab Feed, he
whipped into action and rounded up a crew of
similarly minded KPCC supporters to get
things back on track. So well so, that the
sold-out crowd had consumed all the fixin’s
and left only crab for those arriving after
6 p.m. at the event scheduled to last until
7 p.m. “We based our food orders largely on
pre-dinner ticket sales,” said Miller. “We
had no idea how successful we’d be. This
will go a long way to help fund our many
projects.”
