OysterFest: West Coast Oyster Shucking Championship and Washington State Seafood Festival • Shelton, WA
Despite the chance of showers and cold air outdoors, they come and they will bring family and friends that have traveled from out-of-state to taste the tender morsels created by professional chefs and non-profit organization vol-unteers. They come to learn about where these creatures live and how we in-fluence their survival, or to just touch a starfish. They come to peruse the arts. They come to hear the eclectic variety of music on stage and wander around with them. They come even when the rain poured down all day making it dif-ficult to dodge the puddles. They come from La Grande, Ore., Vancouver, BC, even California.
Why do they come? Because they are never disappointed. The food is abso-lutely marvelous and extremely hard to pick one favorite. They come because the exhibits are interesting and relevant. Families use it as an excuse to gather for reunions and shared experiences.Unique because of it’s seafood theme in the middle of one of the largest producing aquacultural areas, they come because there is truly nothing else like it!
The OysterFest PhenomenonWhy do they come, how far will they travel?
How to get there:
Directions:From I-5 North or South, take exit 104 to hwy 101.Stay on 101 past all Shelton exits, the Port of Shelton Fairgrounds will be the first left after Wallace-Kneeland Blvd exit.

OysterFest: West Coast Oyster Shucking Championship and Washington State Seafood Festival • Shelton, WA
Oyster Shucking com-petition has been the centerpiece of Oyster-fest since its inception. Each year at Oysterfest, Shelton Skookum Rotary sponsors the West Coast Oyster Shucking Cham-pionships, where contes-tants vie for the oppor-tunity to claim title to the fastest oyster shucker or the best half-shell oyster shucker. Some contes-tants have been known to claim both titles in the same year. This year we will go through more than 500 dozen oysters in the competition, all do-nated by Taylor Shellfish Company.
Saturday, October 2, 2010 will be the day to see the fastest oyster shuckers in the Northwest compete with each other for cash prizes. Prelimi-nary heats of contestants will begin at 11 AM and there will be a heat ev-ery hour with between 6 and 10 contestants in each heat. The number of heats depends on the number of contestants, but the last heat is usually
at 4PM. The final heat pits the top six shuckers of the day against each other, to determine the Grand Prize winner.
Speed is the primary factor on Saturday. Each shucker is given 24 oys-ters to shuck as fast as he / she can and the fastest six contestants compete in the finals. You have to see these people at work
to believe it. The fastest time of the day is usu-ally about two minutes, meaning the winner is shucking an oyster about every 5 seconds! That’s incredible!
On Sunday, October 3, 2010, the competition takes on another aspect. The judges on Sunday pick winners for the fastest shucking of twenty-four
oysters on the half-shell. A shucker has to open the oysters rapidly, and place each one back on the half-shell. But any cuts in the oyster by his knife, or any pieces of shell land-ing in the finished prod-uct cause points to be deducted from the over-all score. So, the person who shucks the oysters and places them on the
half-shell the fastest may not be the winner, if points are lost by damage to the oysters.
On Sunday, there is also a prize awarded for the “Best Presentation” - the tray of oysters on the half-shell which looks the nicest.
Oyster shucking com-petition is a great crowd pleaser. Come watch the
competition and scream for your favorite contes-tant. We will pass out oysters to the crowd after each heat, so if you love oysters, be there. Even if you don’t want to eat oysters, be sure and drop by the Shucking Stage on Saturday or Sunday, on the hour, to watch the shucking competition. It’s great fun. See you there!

OysterFest: West Coast Oyster Shucking Championship and Washington State Seafood Festival • Shelton, WA
About 475 fourth graders will be getting wet Friday while learning how to take care of our natural resources at Kids’ Day at OysterFest. Students from Sand Hill, Evergreen, Hood Canal, Southside, Mary M. Knight, Pioneer, Grapeview, and Mason County Chris-tian School are attending the festival at the Mason County Fairgrounds. Kids’ Day is a special pre-opening to Oyster-Fest on Friday October 1, which runs Saturday and Sunday, October 2 and 3.
Students and teachers are more en-gaged and enthusiastic when they see that a subject is brought to life. Many teachers use this as a jumping off point for some of their environmental stud-ies units. During the half day tour, stu-dents will learn about water, what lives in water and how to keep it clean as well as be safe in water based recre-ational activities.
Just a few shy of 100 Mason County community members volunteer each year to help pull the event together and carry it through the day. Thanks to wonderful partnerships with organiza-tions such as Skookum Rotary, Mason Conservation District, Mason County Recycling, PUD #3, Washington Sea Grant, WSU Extension, Hood Canal Aquanuts, Washington State Depart-ment of Health, Medic One, and North Mason Kiwanis, we will have some magnificent hands-on activities at Kids’ Day.

Dan Davis, Chef
Meet Chef Dan, the man responsible for the good food at Alpine Way. With over 25 years of experience in all kinds of kitchens from down-home diners to fi ne restaurant dining, Chef Dan says that he loves the challenge of pleasing the residents and visitors who eat at Alpine every day. From perennial favorites like Crab-Stuffed Salmon, Barbecue Spare Ribs and Chicken-Fried Steak to new dishes like Bourbon Beef with Sweet Potatoes and Double-Chocolate Raspberry Rum Cake, the residents at Alpine Way always have a choice at meals.
“For some of our residents, there’s comfort and pleasure in familiar foods like grilled cheese and tomato soup,” Chef Dan says. “Others like new things. Each person has a favorite type of food whether it is soups or salads or desserts. That means everything from the Carmel Apple Coffee Cake to the Potato-Crusted Cod with Chives and Cheddar is important. What a pleasure it is for all of us in the kitchen to serve so many of our seniors each day.”
Chef Dan’s scrumptious meals are just one more reason to consider making your home at Alpine Way.

camping at OysterFest is fun!
Whether camping via motorhome, trailer, truck camper, pop-up or tent, welcome to OysterFest! We’re excited to have nearly 200 of you come from far and wide (and from close to home).
camping at OysterFest is an event in and of itself. besides the excellent camaraderie of hanging out with fellow oyster (and seafood of all kinds and microbrew and wine and art and entertainment) lovers, the per-night camping fee also includes admission to the festival each day and free admission to the RVers dance on Saturday night. The dance, with a live band, will run from approximately 9 to 11 p.m. Saturday evening. Each campsite will be issued four dance passes. if you need more dance passes for your group, please let us know upon arrival; however, the passes are limited to only those people 21 years of age and older who are staying overnight in your campsite. because alcohol will be available at the dance, only RVers aged 21 and over who have a dance pass can be admitted.
There are a few mason county Fairgrounds items of which we need to make you aware: No campfires are allowed and no smoking is permitted on the grounds, which includes the camping area. also, any alcoholic beverages need to be consumed at your camp area and cannot be carried throughout the campgrounds, from one campsite to another, or into the festival itself.
due to limited space in the RV area we request that all tow vehicles be parked in the regular, free parking area. This allows us to accommodate as many campers as possible. if you must have your vehicle next to your rig you can plan to pay an extra fee of $10 a day.
GOO (Grand Old Oyster) Welcome
OysterFest is a community service project planned, staffed, and evaluated by Skookum Rotary. Over 100 Mason County non-profit groups and government agencies support us to make this “small town-big event” happen. Income earned by these activities goes to a wide variety of community projects, services, charities, and educational endeavors.
The original objectives of OysterFest since 1982 have been:
To be a fun, family oriented eventTo be a fundraiser for local non-profit organizationsTo increase awareness of the excellent seafood re-
sources of Mason County and promote water quality, ecology, and environmental education
To promote awareness of Mason County by increas-ing tourism to the area
If you have questions or concerns during OysterFest, find a Skookum Rotarian (yellow polo shirt and blue ball cap) and they will be happy to help.

OysterFest: West Coast Oyster Shucking Championship and Washington State Seafood Festival • Shelton, WA
Do you think we could possibly top last year? We will do our best. We have pre-ordered the weather … but it all de-pends on what’s left in Mother’s Nature inventory come October 2nd & 3rd. Not sure when summer came or went but we do know come the 1st weekend in October the place to be will be the Mi-crobrew area at Oysterfest 2010. Once again back by popular demand with OysterFest will be: Fresh air, Live mu-sic, Seafood dishes, cold beverages and renewing old friendships. You can com-plete this year’s experience with the suds and music that flow from the Microbrew Arena.
As always, the Microbrew crew is looking forward to this wonderful event and enjoying the OysterFest experience with you. One bit of factual information you can count: the beer ticket prices will be the same as last year, and the year before that: $4 per ticket, one ticket will get you a large beer or fill up your sou-venir glass. We will be offering the ever popular 16 oz. Pilsner glass, 2010 glass-es will be available for $6 each and we
will also be offering the option of a “no date” OysterFest glass for $6. Remem-ber glass price does not include beer. You must purchase beer tickets for that. As always glassware is on a first come first serve basis.
Now for the Microbrew housekeep-ing information: No person under 21
years of age is permitted in the desig-nated Microbrew Arena. All patrons will be asked to show ID at the entrance to the arena. If you are 21 years of age or older you will have a bracelet applied to your wrist that you will be required to show in order to purchase beer tickets, be served beer and or be allowed to con-
sume beer. We like to keep it simple: No wristband, no admittance, no drinking.
We will have a couple of central I.D. check points on the fairgrounds where any patron wishing to consume an al-coholic beverage would first go and receive a wristband, which would give them access to the Microbrew Arena.

People’s Choice Award Winners 2009I t’s all about popular demand, and a
whole bunch of fun when Skookum Ro-tary congratulates three food vendors for their great food and popularity on Sunday afternoon.
Skookum Rotary instigated the friendly competition among its nonprofit vendors to instigate a high level of service and in-teraction with our OysterFest guest. And if the stacks and stacks of ballots we pick up on Saturday afternoon do nothing else, they tell the vendor committee that people love the food!
The Gold Medal and top honors in 2009 went to Mason 5’s Firehouse Chili. This pe-rennial favorite serves up Fire House Chili in two heat sensations, and you can cool off with a snow cone they’ll serve as a chaser.
Silver went to the Mason County As-sociation of Realtors and for good reason. They serve up awesome Oysters Rock-efeller and a heap of great entertainment which includes singin’, dancin’ and a swirl of beads.
The SHS Band Boosters, with fresh, hot and local corn on the cob, took home the Bronze.

OysterFest is fun and interesting. Exhibitors are an important part of Oysterfest. The educa-tional exhibits range from state and local shell-fish and water quality informational displays to a model dam by Tacoma City Light and an electrical safety display by the PUD#3. One of our long-term participants is the Hood Canal Aquanuts with touch tanks of live shellfish for visitors to explore.
Another fun exhibit is the Shelton Scale Ship Modelers with their beautifully detailed model ships that cruise across a large water tank.
This year the Pacific Coast Oyster Growers Association is putting together an exhibit fo-cused on kids. We can’t wait to see it. There are also several displays highlighting some of the programs that directly benefit from reve-nues produced at Oysterfest including various community projects, PolioPlus, RotoPlast, and ShelterBox. Right now we have confirmed over 20 different exhibitors and they can be found in various locations around the grounds.
