This is the first of what we hope will be many entries posted here over the coming months and years to commenorate "Central as Camelot: The Crabb Years, 1982-2002". At the Old Geezer Reunion (our name for it) Saturday, July 22, 2006, people brought their photos and memories of those years to share with each other. We hope to archive as many as possible here on this blog.

The parade starts, heading south ...
and the community gathers to watch.

Alaska transportation ... old and new.
Note: Sandy Crabb is riding on the back of
the 4-wheeler in the bottom photo.




The community prepared a variety of floats.


Central Motor Inn had a float when it was open.


Jim Crabb drove his Crabb's Corner flat-bed float.


After traveling south on the Steese Highway to the end of town,
the parade turned around and came back through headed north.
