The thing to remember about the food prices is this; if you are buying from one of the local civic organizations (i.e., 7th District Optimist, Lions Club, Rotary etc.) this is a fund raising opportunity for us. These clubs do A LOT of good things for the community and this year, as you all know, the call for support from these organizations has grown.

I didn't go 20 years ago, but have been the past 5 and have had a blast each year! Saw the clips from Fox5 being down here this morning talking about it. Rain or shine, it will be a good time!!! Sure, the rain gets in the way a little, but there is enough to do and enough places to take shelter in between hitting the beer tents!!!!Holly Morris: Oyster Festival

We were going to, but decided that it just didn't seem fun in the rain and mud. We are finishing up some inside home projects instead. :lol: That doesn't seem like fun either.

I wanted to! :tantrum: But with the weather being what it is - I realllly didn't want to drive all that way to walk around in rain & all that muckiness.

I'm painting trim, instead. I needed to get it done anyway.

Well, I was. I took a break for lunch. Hah!

:backtowork:

Well, we went yesterday -- along with about 300 or so other brave folks. Other than the parking area being a mud pit and the cold blustery wind, it was okay. Had some stuffed ham and it was yummy ! :yum: Didn't notice it until after we had already eaten our sandwiches, but they had stuffed ham soup. Wish I had seen that first.

Anyway, it was too cold to hang around, so we didn't stay for the shucking contest. Anyone hear who won?

The Optimists donated a bunch of leftover pints and quarts of oysters to Boy Scout Troop 793 to sell as a fundraiser. If anybody wants any, let me know.

We went yesterday and had a blast! We got there around 1 and stayed until closing.

I did notice they raised the prices of beer this year... I assume because attendance was so low. When we were leaving they had dropped the prices down to $2 a beer though.

Beer prices have gone up everywhere. We had to raise ours @ the Blessing b/c of an increase from Anheuser Busch.
