FEATURED VENDOR: The Crab Ladies
Jill Rabin and Roma Campanaro are The Crab Ladies. After running a successful catering business, they branched out in a new direction: offering frozen crabcakes that taste as good as fresh. They have three types of crab cakes that they sell at Olney Farmers and Artists Market: an original (Maryland style) jumbo lump crab cake; an artichoke three-cheese jump lump crab cake, and a bacon and gruyere jumbo lump crab cake. They even offer these crab cakes gluten free (visit their website for more information at www.thecrabladies.com).
The baseball-size crab meat turns golden and crispy after 45 minutes in the oven. Their crabcakes have been written up in Washingtonian and The Washington Post. Visit their booth at Olney Farmers and Artists Market this weekend!

*** ARTIST/CRAFT DEMONSTRATION: SHERRI COLLINS ***
Sherri will be demonstrating how to make lampworked glass beads and different decorating details with a torch. Also, possibly, a demo of PMC, otherwise known as Precious Metal Clay.
Lampworked beads are done by melting glass rods and strips until they are literally liquid, then twirling them onto a mandrel, a thin steel wire that is coated with material so the glass won't stick to it. She creates the base of the bead with one color and add the highlighting components, such as stringers, latticino, millifiori, and several other design methods, to complete the designs.
Precious Metal Clay is much different than anything people have ever seen. It's recycled precious metal dust that is added to a clay binder. Because it's in a binder, she can handwork it like Play Doh, then use her torch to fire it; polish it after it's cooled, and VOILA! a piece that looks like solid silver. It's really cool to watch!

*** CHEF DEMONSTRATION: Chef Mitchell ***
| Affectionately called "The Chef", Mitchell's relationship with food began with his southern influences. At the age of 12, alongside his Charleston-born mother of West Indian descent, Mitchell assisted in the kitchen with cooking and preparation. In that environment she was the head chef and he was her commis. |
|
| It wouldn't be long before that relationship turned into a love affair with Southern Caribbean cooking, or "Geechee" cuisine. |
| At the age of 17, Chef Mitchell joined the United States Navy. While serving, he traveled to over 15 countries, experiencing French, German, Italian, Caribbean and Middle-Eastern cuisine, to name a few. Each tour kindled Mitchell's passion for combining palatable fare and masterful presentation. |
| After the Navy, Mitchell's interests in cooking lead him to work at various restaurants and hotels expanding his delectable artistry and innovating savory dishes. In 2002, Mitchell obtained his degree in Advanced Culinary Arts from Stratford University, and became a classically French trained chef. |
| One of his ground-breaking ventures began in 2007. Chef Mitchell made disciples out of non-believers when he launched "Brain Food", a school lunch service program that provides nutritionally sound meals from scratch while holding true to gourmet style. |

*** Cupcake Decorating with Georgetown Cupcake ***
Georgetown Cupcake Decorating — A repeat of last year's hit event! Kids (and parents) get to decorate and eat their own cupcakes.
Georgetown Cupcake was founded by sisters Katherine Kallinis and Sophie LaMontagne. Katherine and Sophie traded careers in fashion and private equity to pursue something a little sweeter — their passion for artful cupcakes. Both lifelong bakers, inspired by their grandmothers, Katherine and Sophie opened Georgetown Cupcake in February 2008 as DC's first cupcakery.
