Saturday, March 13, 2021
Save the date for our annual Incline High School Boosters Fundraiser. The 39th Annual event known as Crab Feed will look different and may even have a different name this year but the fun and the fundraising will be as enthusiastic as in the past 38 years.
In the next few months we need your help in the following ways:
1) Donate auction items for the live auction.
2) Volunteer to help us put this event together.
