From a goldfish bowl on the table, Ms. Rossi-Snook scooped up tiny sea creatures who have been thriving alongside oysters in Dickerson Creek as a result of this program. “Here’s a pipefish — similar to a sea horse — and a skillet fish and a feather blenny,” she explained as she proudly introduced each one.
After a five-year hiatus, the popular oyster event was enthusiastically welcomed back by all. Mary Fran Gleason, President of the Historical Society’s Board of Directors, welcomed the guests and thanked the sponsors, while Executive Director Nanette Lawrenson was in constant motion, ensuring that the many working parts of an extensive fundraising event were all functioning smoothly.
The smiles on the faces of guests left no doubt that this was true.
