ELGIN — Good weather and a reputation for great fresh crab drew a record-breaking 1,000 hungry guests to the Elgin Stampede Hall Saturday for the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year.

Stampeder Scotty Payne, who made the trip to Astoria 24 hours earlier to pick up more than $18,000 worth of fresh crab, was amazed at the turnout.

“I don’t know if we’ll have enough this year,” he said as he watched the kitchen crews put out the food at a pace he’d never seen before.
