Al ,

Oyster festival sounds wonderful and we lived close by my whole family would attend. My wife and I love raw oysters but the last batch I eat on Easter gave my insides some real issues. I may have to stay with the cooked from now on.

Excellent Localism blog of a fun event.

You are closing in on 500 K points my friend!
