The Kent Island Volunteer Fire Department and the United Way of Queen Anne’s County have joined forces to bring Casino Nite at the Crab Deck to the Eastern Shore of Maryland!

This fundraiser, sponsored by CNB (formerly Centreville National Bank), Queenstown Bank of Maryland and Priceless Industries, will benefit both non-profit organizations and is scheduled for Saturday, November 3rd starting at 6 PM at Fisherman’s Crab Deck (also a sponsor) in Grasonville. The tickets, which cost $65 per person, include light dinner, beer, and wine plus $10 in free match plays.

There are professionally trained volunteers lined up for Black Jack, Poker, Roulette and Kent Island Craps. They will be joined by local “Celebrity Dealers” who are part of a Dealer Challenge going on that evening. “When you purchase a ticket to the event, there is a place on the ticket to mark off each celebrity dealer you visit. If you visit all the dealers, you can submit your ticket for a prize drawing,” explains Committee Chair, Francis Roudiez who serves on both the KIVFD and United Way Board of Directors.
