Chesapeake Bay Foundation Event
October 4, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Virginia oysters and beer will be on tap in Cape Charles on Friday, October 4, at a fun and educational Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) event at The Oyster Farm.
“Come join us to eat, drink, and learn about the amazing ways oysters have contributed to the history, economy, and ecology of our region,” said CBF Virginia Voices Outreach Coordinator Jay Ford. “Enjoy the bounty of our waters and find out how you can help the Chesapeake Oyster Alliance add 10 billion oysters in the Bay by 2025.”
While tasting local seafood and beer, visitors can meet oyster farmers and oyster restoration experts at the event. Participants can collect stamps at each station in an Oysters on Tap passport, making them eligible for a raffle for oyster-themed prizes.
Oysters on Tap runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, at C-Pier at the Oyster Farm at 500 Marina Village Circle in Cape Charles. Tickets are $25 each and include beer and all-you-can-eat raw oysters. Required advance registration is available at www.cbf.org/slurpandlearn.
Oysters will be provided by several Eastern Shore aquaculture operations, including HM Terry Co., Lambert Shellfish, Primo Clams and Oysters from Walker’s Seafood, Ruby Salts Oyster Co., and Shooting Point Oyster Company.
