The 60th Florida Seafood Festival brought
thousands of people to Apalachicola over the weekend to enjoy food, fun and
music.
And you couldn’t ask for better weather.
As always, the oyster eating and oyster
shucking contests proved to be extremely popular.
The winner in the men’s oyster eating division
was Richard Buckalew of Griffin,
Georgia who ate 222 oysters in 15 minutes.

Crawfordville came in second in the men's division after
eating 210 oysters and Charles

She ate 129 oysters in 15 minutes.
Second place in the women's division was Keira Gibson of Perry, Florida who ate 104

The Oyster Shucking contest was won Joshua Woodworth who works at Dat Cajun

He won an all-expense paid trip to the national
oyster shucking competition in Maryland next year.
