🌊🎉 Get Ready to Savor the Flavor of Maryland

🌊🎉 Get Ready to Savor the Flavor of Maryland with WIYO's "Oyster Spotlight"🦪

At the World Is Your Oyster Festival, we're all about celebrating the beauty and flavor of our oceans, and what better way to do it than by showcasing the incredible oyster purveyors of Maryland! 🌊🌟

🔍 Explore 14 different oyster purveyors from the Maryland area, each with their unique twist on this culinary delight. From the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic shore, these experts bring the taste of Maryland's coast straight to your plate!

“FAT AS BUTTER” is how @tt_oyster Double T Oyster Ranch describes their hybrid, farm raised oysters which still express a wild oyster character with the “Double T Cupped” shells. The oysters are grown where the Potomac River and Herring Creek collide, creating a strong tidal flow that helps them to grow larger, faster, and cleaner. Double T Oyster Ranch is family-owned and was founded in 2009 by Rick Meatyard and his son Spike.

🎉🦪 Hey there, oyster enthusiasts and shuckin

🎉🦪 Hey there, oyster enthusiasts and shucking aficionados! A huge heartfelt thanks go out to Flywheel Digital for their generous support as the Shucking Big Deal sponsor for the Oyster Shucking Competition at the upcoming "World is Your Oyster Fest." Their commitment to celebrating the art of oyster shucking is truly commendable! 🌟

As we gear up for this epic showdown, professional shuckers from all around are sharpening their knives and honing their skills. This competition is not for the faint of heart—it's where the best of the best come to prove their mettle. 🏆 The winner doesn't just take home a cash prize, they also earn the coveted qualification for the US National competition!

Picture this: the area's fastest shuckers, battling it out at World is Your Oyster Fest in an all-out, guts-and-glory competition. 🥇 It's a shucking spectacle like no other, and we're ready to hoot and holler as they shuck 24 oysters faster than you can say "shuck it!" 🗣️

But that's not all! After the shucking madness, we invite you to join us in celebrating the fruits of their labor by sampling some of the freshest and most delicious oysters you've ever tasted. 🍽️

So mark your calendars, folks! World is Your Oyster Fest is just around the corner, and thanks to Flywheel Digital's support, it's shaping up to be an event for the books. Let's give Flywheel Digital a big round of applause for making this shucking extravaganza possible. 🙏✨

Stay tuned for more exciting updates, and get ready to join us at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore for a 'shelluva good time! 🎊
