Pemaquid Oyster Festival a Huge Success
What a beautiful day to eat oysters on the river! The Pemaquid Oyster Festival was a resounding success and broke all of the previous records for money raised for the Edward A. Myers Conservation Fund as well as the number of oysters shucked and consumed. Somewhere near 10,000 oysters made the ultimate sacrifice for this fund raiser to promote aquaculture and the working waterfront.
This festival had it all. Music, great food and fine liquid refreshments. And what a great bunch of volunteers. I wish I had time to get a picture of all of them but here is a sampling of some of the shucker's as they opened and served the best tasting oysters in the world, Damariscotta River oysters!
