Headed South down to the coast for the Fulton Oyster Fest. Sun was shining, but the wind was blowing like crazy. After arriving we found a spot to catch the parade, Americana on display….marching bands, fire trucks, politicians, and floats. Good old small town Texas celebration!
Later we explored the Rockport Cemetery which always has a spectacular wildflower display. Beautiful setting with all the graves blanketed with wildflowers…..perfect for all the souls that rest there.
Oysters were served raw or fried….but inflation at hit and 2 raw oysters were $4! Fried oysters were about the same price! Dale tried both oysters and shrimp! I liked the raw with a cold beer to wash them down.
After eating we decided to enjoy the music and even got in a dance or two to some good old country music. Little did we know a reporter and photographer for a Corpus newspaper took our picture. They found me……. got our names and hometown for the newspaper. That was a surprise and I wondered if it would be printed. Sure enough we were famous! A pretty cute picture too!
