December 12, 2007 - Inaugural Oyster Road
'O Oysters,' said the Carpenter,'You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none --
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
--The Walrus and the Carpenter
Lewis Carroll
How many oysters can an emerging community consume? The first annual Brunswick Forest Realty Oyster Roast brought out more than 200 new residents determined to devour every oyster in sight. At least count more than eight bushes went the way of the Walrus and the Carpenter, along with copious amounts of slaw, hushpuppies, shrimp and other southern fare. Next year, it was promised, would be even better.
