Urbanna, Va.— It’s over! The 2019 Oyster Festival not only delivered good food and fun for thousands of visitors to Urbanna but also enjoyed perfect weather. This is rare. It was my 35th Oyster Fest and I can almost count ideal weather during this popular fall event on the fingers of both hands.
It’s usually bone cold. I should know because my usual post for many years has been seated behind a table selling books and newspapers in front of the Sentinel office on Virginia Street. In most cases, no matter how many layers of winter clothing I have on, I’m too cold for comfort.
