Farmer Jay’s giant oyster

it was fun!!! glad to see some people again this year...... 2400 clams and 2000 oysters went quick!

Great going all.

I wish I could have made it, but I had family from out of state over at the beach for a gathering.

Miss you Alison. What a great cause....celebrating Alison and raising money for nautical scholarships. Well done Garth, Family & Friends.

Great time seeing everyone. Thx for the pictures Alfonso

I was thinking about Alison.... I almost stopped by !! I had one guy on board, but our crew had a mission to finish the ride together. Next year's Smilow ride is Sept 12th

I had a great time Saturday, and got to catch up with a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. Several people I hoped to see didn't make it, but maybe next year. I did manage to bump into the two fellas below, and get a picture with them.

For me, it's about remembering Alison, and contributing to her fund, but winning a couple raffle prizes was nice too.

Thank you to everyone on the committee for doing all you did to organize the event, and make it happen.












.

already starting to think about next year's event- timing is tough in September with Labor day being late. stay tuned as details are ironed out


and THANKS again to ALL who attended and contributed!! it really is a fun, kinda picnic-like atmosphere for families and friends..... EXACTLY what Alison would have liked

Already looking forward to it. Thanks for everything you do Bob.
