The Urbanna Oyster Festival Foundation (UOFF) has named Aubrey Hall of Urbanna the 2023 grand marshal of the Urbanna Oyster Festival set for Friday and Saturday, Nov. 3 and 4.
“I was completely overwhelmed when Bruce DeSimone (chairman of the UOFF) called me and asked me to be grand marshal of the festival,” said Hall. “It is truly an honor and I’m delighted that the foundation felt that I am worthy of the honor.”
DeSimone said, “I have known Aubrey since he helped me purchase our first house in 1983. I have watched as he has made major contributions to our community and I am very pleased that the UOFF chose to honor his work by selecting him as the 2023 Urbanna Oyster Festival grand marshal.”
