Thanks to everyone who made it out to Friday's holiday party at the Annapolis Maritime Museum - we had a great crowd and even caused a traffic jam in Eastport.

Special thanks to the generosity of following people and organizations for helping making the event possible: Mary Ostrye, MB Hughes, Alice Estrada, Jim Ostrye, photographer Ken Tom and the other Museum staff and volunteers - Oyster shuckers Tom Price, Keith Long and Zack Hoisington - Maggie Hughes for keeping track of the numbers - Kevin Brooks for providing the live music - watermen Jimmy Kelly and Steven Tarleton for providing the oysters - ProFish Seafood and Tidewater Express for helping with the logistics of delivering the seafood - Flying Dog Brewery and RAR Brewery for helping with the beer and the bountiful Chesapeake Bay for providing the Bluefish that I smoked for the fish dip.

Have a safe and happy holiday!
