The 2010 Fair and Festivals season is in full swing with events scheduled for practically every weekend throughout the summer months. Yesterday, May 29th, RCTB volunteers Wes, Charlie, Debbie and Frank set up our table at the Waretown Founder's Day at the Priff Elementary School campus. They were joined by Chelsea and Marty later in the morning. The weather was comfortably cool and the mostly family centered crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves as they strolled around the site. We had quite a few interested visitors stop by and listen patiently as we explained our mission and how shellfish can do their small part to help clean up Barnegat Bay. One interested visitor was ex Philadelphia Eagle player Jon Runyan, who is now running for Congress in the 3th Congressional District. Charlie attempted to cram our 12 weeks of clam knowledge in the time alloted but the Waretown mayor had other plans for Jon's time. Charlie does a great job explaining the clam growing and cleaning process to the children who visited our table. The families who came by were interested in what we do and our message is being spread to more and more people each year. All and all the day could be considered to have been a great success.
