Winter Excursion 8, Day 25

Annual Oyster Roast Day!

We had a quick breakfast with the Kiddos, cleaned up the camper, and headed to the seafood market in McClellanville. We picked up a few pounds of shrimp, and some clam and shrimp dips for the Oyster Roast tonight at the Kids. The shrimp is for my world famous peel n' eat shrimp. Here's a pic of the Kiddos at the seafood market.

From the market we drove to the Kid's house and started getting set up for the Roast this evening.

First order of business was setting up the inflatable big screen. It's Saturday in the south and watching college football is a must. If we has not showed the games many folks would not have showed up. Brian did "split screen" and could show two games a once! Many of the folks were "glued" to the screens. Here's the screen. Think it's big enough?

We got the oyster table all set up. The holes are to dump the shells after you shuck the oyster clusters into trash cans below. By the end of the evening it will look like we'd been cleaning fish on it..LOL

Here's the food table. Every guest brought a dish, desert, munchie, or veggie platter. It was totally full by 1800.

Here's few pics after the party got started. A fun time was had by all.

Neighbors started to arrive.

The crowd get bigger.

The oyster table.

The last folks left around 2300. We had a nice toddy by the fire pits and then hit the sack. We did some clean-up, but will finish in the morning.

It was the best "Roast" ever. There was over 50 folks there and a great time was had by all. There was very little food leftover, so almost no waste.

We were off to bed by 2330 will sleep like babies!
