Annual Jetty Fishery Nehalem Bay Crab Derby
Jetty Fisherys Nehalem Bay Crab Derby's chosen charity is the local Rockaway Beach Lions Club. Previous years' derbies have raised over $55,000 for charity and have been attended by over 11,000 visitors.
As many of you may recall, 26 tagged crabs are released into the Nehalem Bay the first day of the Derby. The tags correlate to prizes such as the grand prize of $2500, donated by the Jetty Fishery to items such as weekend stay at the cabins, sweatshirts for the family, seafood dinner for 2 and cash prizes of $500, and two at $50. Any prizes not caught the first day will be auctioned off the second day. All proceeds of the event are donated to the Rockaway Beach Lion Club who will also be selling hotdogs at the Derby for those friends and family that don’t like eating crab.
Rockaway Lions Club is a Service Club. 100% of their funds are used to help people with glasses, hearing aids, hunger, protecting our environment and supporting youth programs. We ask you to please seriously consider any donation of your time, merchandise, or money you can in support of this great cause!
If you are interested in having a booth at the Derby we are more than glad to give you specifics via telephone or email.
