It occurred to me that this year’s Urbanna Oyster Festival was my 40th. That’s a lot of enjoyment of this popular festival and certainly gains a position in the Middlesex Memories series.
We were living in Newport News in 1980 when I first became aware of Urbanna’s annual celebration from our teenage daughter, Liz. She was a student at St. Margaret’s School in Tappahannock and through her I learned that teenagers loved the oyster fest. Especially the college kids that poured into town from all over the commonwealth.
