Steamed: Crabs, politicos and patrons at Tawes

Lobbyist Bruce Bereano has the largest tent at the Tawes crab feast.

The annual Tawes Crab and Clam Bake in Crisfield on the Lower Shore of the Chesapeake is always hot, but Wednesday it wasn’t just the crabs that were steamed and the clams that were baked.

The main topic of the day was how hot it was. Cell phones were registering that it felt over 100 degrees. Gov. Larry Hogan, who posed for hundreds of photos as he worked the crowds for three hours, said it was the hottest he could recall.

Here is a gallery of photos from the day.
