Imagine.....65,000 pounds of oysters. Two tractor-trailers full of oysters will roll onto the grounds at Boone
Hall Plantation on Sunday, January 25, 2008 to kick off the 24th Annual Lowcountry Oyster Festival. This

live entertainment. A favorite to watch or participate in! Also, the winner of the "Oyster Recipe Contest" will
be announced and the kids will love the "Children's Area" designed to keep them happy and having fun.
Oysters are sold by the bucket (approximately 3-4 dozen) for market value and served with cocktail sauce
