Oyster festival





Today was Boone Hall Plantations annual oyster roast. 65 000 pounds of oysters was trucked in, the obvious choice but for the pickier eaters more foods where served as well and lots of it. How about gyros, stuffed bacon and crab wrapped shrimp, wings, fries, shrimp and grits and more low country delicacies'.

We arrived early and enjoyed about 4 dozen oysters. We did try most other foods as well while mingling with good friends. They see about 10 000 people every year at this festival. Bands are playing, there are contests, beer tents, different businesses in tents rallying for new customers etc.

There was also a kids corner with a jump castle, pony rides, petting zoo and face painting. Alex got a pirate and Fia a butterfly on their cheeks.

We finished the day with an ice cream at the boat on a wonderful warm and sunny January Sunday in the Low country.
