Thousands of
people came out Saturday to take part in the 4th annual Oyster Cook-off to
raise money for the Apalachicola Volunteer
Fire Department.
The weather was warm enough so
people could sit outside, listen to live music, and enjoy the aromas of the
various oyster dishes.
12 teams took part in the cook-off,
and dishes varied from oyster chowder and casserole to a number of "baked
in the half-shell" dishes.
No two were the same.
The day went to The Eastpoint
Volunteer Fire Department for the second year in a row.
Jeff Ilardi of Eastpoint took second
place – he won the event in 2011.
Third place went to Earl Solomon.
The Peoples choice award went to the Owl Café’
which raised 2222.00 through sales at their booth.
Total earnings have not been tallied
– but organizers think they eclipsed last year’s total of thirty thousand
dollars.
All of the money will help the Apalachicola Fire
Department.
