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.
Total earnings have not been tallied – but organizers think
they eclipsed last years total of thirty thousand dollars. All of the money will help the Apalachicola Fire Department.
