Joe Steffen - Darkness Rising: Tawes to the Wall | Global Rhetoric: “Are you going to Tawes?”


If I was asked that question once this year, I was asked it at least 10-15 times.


“No,” I answered every time.  In one of the conversations, I was advised that I “had” to go to Tawes.  When I asked why, the person said because “everyone goes to Tawes!”  Excuse me, but that’s not a valid reason.  But that person was right – people go to Tawes because it is expected of them to be there because everyone will be there.


“Tawes,” as most, if not all, of Maryland Politicos know is the “Crab Feast Gone Mild” under the name of Maryland’s 54th Governor, J. Millard Tawes. It takes place in the 3rd week of every July – just as it has been happening for the past 36 years. Held in Crisfield, Maryland, which is pretty much the farthest point from most anywhere else in the state, Tawes is considered to be the “Can’t Miss!” political event of the year.
