CRABS ON THE MOVE
                                   Can you find them all?
                                     The ‘Crabs on the Move project started in 2006. The Pine Needles
                                   Garden Club started this venture as a way to give back to the
                                   community in Washington. The crab statues were auctioned off to
                                   different organizations and businesses at a ‘Crab Ball,’ a black tie
                                   event that was held at the Washington Civic Center. The money
                                   raised went to local charities. The crabs were painted and decorated
                                   by local artists, then displayed in town. At that time, the statues
‘Craig Crab-borne Culinary King’   would be moved to different parts of town on occasion. Thus the
Crab Park                          ‘Crabs on the Move’ became the name of the initiative.
W. Stewart Parkway                   Project objectives included providing a marketing tool for tourism,
                                   raising money for local charities, tying in with the Estuarium’s existing
                                   logo, providing an icon for tourists and locals in which to identify
                                   Beaufort County, and bringing Beaufort County’s first outdoor art
                                   exhibit to life - a showcase for our local artists.
                                     The project eventually took a new direction when they were
                                   bought by various businesses, organizations, and individuals, (many
                                   were repainted) and were placed in permanent spots throughout
                                   Washington and Beaufort County.
                                     Here is a list of the crab statues with locations and photographs for
                                   families, individuals and other groups can use as a type of ‘scavenger
                                   hunt’ to find and post your pictures.
                                     We hope you enjoy this activity while social distancing.

   UNDERGROUND RAILROAD MUSEUM
   While there’s no denying the very nature of slavery carries the weight of sadness, the
   museum exemplifies goodness. The stories of freedom seekers and the abolitionists
   who helped them are full of hope, faith and the promise of a better life.The Washington
   Waterfront Underground Railroad Museum shares the stories of people helping people.

   Main Street, located in historic
   downtown Washington, is home to
   restaurants, shops, live music and a
   large collection of art for sale, from
   Washington landscapes to stunning
   pottery and unique glasswork. You
   may even get to see some of the
   artists in action.

              Bill's at Washington Square Mall and also grabbed some cheese biscuits at
              Mom's Grill. The Estuarium is a must as well. On second thought, two days
              was long enough to know we will be back for some warmer nights when
              the waterfront is full of people. — Ed C.
