43rd Annual Oyster Fest returns to Oyster Bay this weekend

Good morning, Rich. I already got my sweatshirt. We're ready to go this weekend. A lot going on, and I'm twinning right now with Ryan Schlatter. You are the Chamber of Commerce president, also the owner of the Oyster Bay Brewing Company, and we have a lot ahead, a lot of excitement for this weekend. Yes, there's plenty to do. We have plenty of food options. We have beer. We have the oyster shucking contest. We're going to break the record on Saturday, so we should come and watch that. We have the Savannah Bananas coming, which is going to be very cool. Plenty of rides and really something for everybody. And it's a 43rd year, so obviously it's only growing bigger and better. Yeah, every year there's improvements, there's new additions, and it's a lot of fun. What's your favorite part about it? Well, I have to say the beer garden, but also the music is great. We have over 25 bands. The businesses up and down Audrey Avenue have so much to offer. So it's really a great event, and a lot of the money goes to the local non-profits, which is important. It's going to save you the help of sponsorships and people helping out. I mean, this is a year-round organizing for this weekend, right? Right. It's a lot of people all year to get to this point. And like you said, the sponsors make it happen. And a lot of it helps all the local business, the economy, and all of the not-for-profits that we support. Are you ready to handle a lot of people coming this weekend? We're ready. Everybody's ready. We're all set up. We've been setting up all week, and it's going to be a great event. The weather seems to be supporting us, so that's great. We're talking oysters, food vendors, games for the kids, live music, a little bit of everything if you want to come on down this weekend at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay and enjoy it all. We're going to be here throughout the morning to give you a preview on everything that you can expect. Back to you in the studio, Rich.
