Thank you to Jennifer and Funmi from Buckhead Meat & Seafood Mid-Atlantic for the huge toy donation today! They came just in time for the toy giveaway!
Last weekend, you proved that the World is Your Oyster! You shucked, you shell recycled, you told your friends, YOU made this event successful! Your passion for Bay oyster restoration is palpable. In just four hours, you ate 5,000 oysters, and we collected 19 bushels of shell, which means you'll help us plant nearly 100,000 oysters next year! Big shoutout to the host with the most The Local Oyster for keeping us entertained, Senator Van Hollen for sharing his inspiring oyster restoration vision, Oysters XO for teaching Baltimore how to Shuck Like a Pro, the oyster farmers who brought their bivalve bounties, the restaurants that delighted taste buds with delicious bites (seafood provided by JJ McDonnell & Co., Inc. & Buckhead Meat & Seafood Mid-Atlantic) the beverages companies that kept things lively, the shuckers who competed for a chance at the US National Competition, the vendors that sold wares and contributed to ORP, the bands who kept us moving, and most of all to YOU, the guests who believe in the work we do – THANK YOU! See you in 2023!
