<a href="https://bcleanwater.org/">Barnstable Clean Water Coalition</a> this celebration of the region’s bi-valves will be held on Saturday, October 20<sup>th</sup> from 1pm to 5pm.
<a href="http://www.bigrockoyster.com/">Big Rock Oyster</a> & <a href="http://www.capeoysters.com/">
Cape Cod Oyster</a> are operating raw bars featuring oysters from towns all over Cape Cod.
<a href="http://shellfishing.org/">The Barnstable Association for Recreational Shellfishing</a> will be selling clam chowder and

<i>“Most of us think of oysters as these delicacies that appear like magic on every menu. But they’re so much more than that. It’s an industry that supports hundreds of people. These shellfish are also being used as a natural way to filter the waters of Cape
Cod. Cape Cod oysters are important to the wellbeing of Cape Cod in ways that most of us don’t even know. We wanted to give people a chance to drink local beer, eat delicious, fresh, local oysters, learn more about the amazing Cape Cod oyster and have fun
doing it!”<o:p></o:p></i></p>
