Cracking the shell of OysterFest

ST. MICHAELS — The sun was shining and the oysters were freshly shucked Saturday at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum for the annual OysterFest. Near the end of the day, local water and oystermen sold out of oysters, which Vice President of Engagement at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Shannon Mitchell said is the “ideal outcome.” Roughly 3,500 attendees came out for the event. “It was a fantastic day. Well, for one, we couldn’t have asked for better weather,” Mitchell said. “Attendance was wonderful.” The festival aims to support watermen, educational programs and the organization’s exhibits, including its historic floating fleet. It also raises funds for the Talbot Watermen Association and its initiatives through a partnership in which the association serves as the festival’s primary oyster provider. “This event in particular is one that is very mission-driven for the organization,” Mitchell said. “It truly supports what we’re all about. If we wanted to sum it up of our entire mission of the organization, this is that mission kind of in action.” Beyond oysters, the event featured educational programming, Chesapeake Retrievers and rides aboard historic vessels, including the “Rosie Parks”. These activities let visitors experience the festival on land and from the

Letter to Editor: Distracted, Impaired and Impatient Drivers Put Us All at Risk

Recently, within ten minutes, I was nearly hit twice while riding my bicycle in Easton. On North Aurora Street, a driver honked aggressively behind me and then passed with about six inches to spare. Maryland law requires drivers to give a person on a bicycle at least three feet when passing, and if there is no bike lane or shoulder, cyclists can “take the lane”. Six inches is not a judgment call. It is a near miss with a 4,000-pound car. And it gained her nothing: when she parked at her location, I pulled up just 15 seconds behind her. She put my life at risk to save a quarter of a minute.

Easton buildings lit green for ‘causes closest to home’

EASTON — The lights outside Beau Monde Elite Fitness on S. Aurora Street and iFrog Marketing Solutions on Bay Street have been changing color all fall. They were purple in September for Talbot Goes Purple, pink in October for breast cancer awareness, and yellow at the start of November for the service members who are not home yet. Now through Nov. 11, both buildings are lit green in support of veterans. Operation Green Light for Veterans is a national campaign that asks counties, businesses, and households to light up green in the week before Veterans Day, and the color was chosen for hope and for moving forward. The teams associated with both of these businesses know none of these are causes anyone around here needs to be sold on. They are the ones that have already come to touch most of the families in this county, and lighting up for them is a way to show support, together. “It may seem like a hard season to agree on much of anything,” the marketing team at Preston Automotive Group agrees,” But nobody drives past a purple light and asks who put it up or where they stand on anything else.
