Participate in the colonial era children’s games and activities!
Our musical guests will be the very popular local artist Dirk Schwenk and the duo, Trekkie Jones (acoustic), a fixture at many local pubs. Ms. Victoria Garbesi will reprise her historic reenactment as Margaret Stinchcomb Tydings providing a delightful glimpse into life at Goshen Farm in the 1860s.
If you like oysters and like education, you will be particularly interested in the presentation by JD Blackwell, the owner of 38 North Oysters, and representatives of the Maryland Oyster Growers Association. They will discuss the latest applications of aquaculture and oyster harvesting and will have examples of the floats used to grow oysters is a sustainable manner. We’ll have fresh oysters plucked from the waters off Point Lookout that morning and available at a “Buck a Shuck” for you to sample or enjoy for your lunch. If you are not into oysters, there will be burgers, hot dogs, and pulled pork sandwiches for sale.
