I haven't posted in a little bit, so let me say a little about Wellfleet Oysterfest.  I look forward to this event every year and even drive 6 hours each way for the weekend just to attend.

It's an outdoor festival in "downtown" Wellfleet on Cape Cod and basically you go from vendor to vendor eating plates of fresh oysters on the half shell, drinking oyster stout beer, checking out nautically oriented crafts, and listening to NRBQ. There is also a highly anticipated shucking competition.

The lemon on the oyster (teehee) for me is that many of my friends from college convene every year in what has become somewhat of an annual tradition.

It was awesome and now...back to work.

I was wondering about this when I saw it on FB. I didn't expect oysters to be an autumnal activity.
It's a way of extending the tourist season after Columbus Day Weekend. A last hurrah! As it turns out, oysters are better and healthier to eat in the cooler months. Warm water=icky bacteria. Another reason to be vegan ;-)
