Experience Grand Rapids partnered with Visit Baltimore to host another shell-cracking good time at Quarterdeck! Thank you to all the amazing clients and industry peers who braved the rain to join us for another Annual Hospitality Crab Feast. The crabs were delicious, and the Old Bay was flowing. It's where business meets pleasure, one claw at a time! Cheers to messy hands, full bellies, and the best kind of networking fun. 🦀
