On Sunday, November 9, friends of The Georgetown School gathered at Francis Marion Park for the twelfth annual Oyster Roast. The students, parents, and faculty had everything set up and Will Ness was warming up his amp and tuning his guitar when the first oyster lovers claimed their tables and turned their eyes towards the cooking area. Before long, high schoolers began carrying out the first steaming trays of McClellanville bivalves. The music went up, sweet and mellow for a Sunday afternoon and everyone started shucking.

At the raffle table, parents were enjoying the sun and watching all the goings-on. Middle school students were busy handing out soft drinks, water, and bowls of hot pileau. A steady stream of people came in all afternoon, lured by the oysters and the convivial atmosphere.

Our Oyster Roast is one of the highlights of the fall season and we look forward to it every year. Congratulations to all the Kingfishers and their families for pulling together and creating another magical event!
