For many years, I’ve gone to the annual Swansboro Rotary Club’s Oyster Roast and Pig Out, and as I opened my freshly steamed oysters, I admired the amazing group of workers who were behind the scenes steaming the oysters in giant metal bins. Â To feed hundreds of eaters a continuous supply of steaming hot oysters takes a lot of hard-working volunteers and organization. Â I wanted to share this bit of local tradition with you through a slide show (below), and invite you to join us for this year’s fund raising oyster roast on March 20th, 2010 from 5-8pm. Â Barbeque, fried fish, hush puppies, slaw, and beer are also served..as much as you can eat, and it usually falls on the same day as the Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Day Festival. Â Let me know if you need tickets…my husband is a member of the Rotary Club. Â They sell out every year.

I thought this fund raiser is on a Saturday night you show it is on a Thursday, March 18th is that correct or not?
Thanks.
I see that I wrote the wrong date on the post. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I have it fixed now. I’m glad you noticed that.
HELLO.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL ME THE FEE PER PERSON TO BE PART OF THIS AMAZING FESTIVAL
Yes, it is $40 per person, all you can eat and drink, and the money raised goes to provide scholarships to need-based applicants.
