Could this really have been the 7th year for our Mid-Atlantic Mob’s Lead Pencil Run (Oyster Festival)? WOW where has the time gone! And yet I remember each one as if they were yesterday due to all of the fun and all of the characters that made/make it happen. This year we topped out at 60 plus in attendance when we count all the riders and locals. We were so big this year that even with some of the “regulars” not making the ride over to the fairgrounds, we could not get in front of the gate to get our picture since we blocked the place. LOL

The real beauty of the location that surrounds our hotel is what keeps us coming back year after year.


OK, so maybe I stretched the truth a bit. What really keeps us coming back year after year are THESE.


The stuff this guy puts out could win him a spot on Dock Side Chopped (it’s a new cooking show I am working on where Bikers out cook and drink the Boaters).
Awe shucks, I would be remiss if I did not highlight the “crew”. These guys really need to stay over at the Oyster Festival and sign up to compete. Keeping up with all the hungry mouths that hovered around the shucking table was a serious job I tell ya. Good thing I have an “in” with a few of the shuckers.

The only complaint I heard during the entire weekend was about the size of this year’s Oysters. Gosh, just can’t please everyone I tell ya. But at least if they got stuck in your throat, there was something to wash them down with.

Now not everyone wants their Oysters Raw, so once again we put the Madam of the Deep Fryer to the test, and of course she did not disappoint. I can still taste those Hush Puppies and Fried Oysters.
