JANUARY 21
CRAB RACES
Mr. Tony’s Pizza, Palm Bay
7:00 pm
Each participant picks a hermit crab from an aquarium, then gives the creature a name. Each shell is individually numbered for identification purposes. On a typical night, these crabs compete in 12 to 14 heat races. Here’s how each race unfolds: The crustaceans loiter beneath an upside-down plastic salad bowl at the center of a 6-foot racing ring. Then the bowl is lifted, and crabs scatter in all directions. The first to cross the yellow ring wins and advances to the nightly championship race.
