Bella Terra threw a great St Patrick's Day party for all owners and guests last night that included green beer, wine, grilled rueben sandwiches, a plethora of pot luck dishes and a variety of tasty desserts! The event provided a nice unofficial opening to Oysterfest 2011 and POG was recognized and welcomed by Bella Terra Staff and owners several times during the party. "They like us - they REALLY like us!" :D

Oysterfest 2011 participants gathered at the Bella Terra clubhouse complex this afternoon for the Oyster Shucking Extravaganza & Oysterita Happy Hour. Vita Terry welcomed the crowd and Bella Terra developer Chuck Smith offered brief comments welcoming POG to Bella Terra and expressing his appreciation that Bella Terra was chosen as the site for Oysterfest 2011. Chuck even extended an exclusive discount offer to POG Oysterfest 2011 attendees for attractive discounts on ownership at Bella Terra.
Oysterfest participants enjoyed over 50 dozen oysters this afternoon offered up on the half shell by two dedicated oyster shuckers arranged by Bella Terra. In addition, several POGers contributed delicious culinary delights including bar-b-que, various salads, chips, dips, and a variety of fabulous desserts. Bill Cleverdon supplied 25 pounds of delicious boiled shrimp to augment the main attraction oysters! As the Oysterita Happy Hour portion of the afternoon got underway, Reagan Sirmons blended seemingly unlimited batches of wonderful Oysteritas (commonly known as margeritas).
Two POGers contributed wonderful unique keepsakes of the event. John Klopp supplied custom designed Oysterfest 2011 T-shirts for everyone in attendance and Ann Ducote made custom embroidered fabric cooler bags for each participating bus!
By the end of the evening, hundreds of oysters had been consumed, thousands of shrimp devoured, gallons of Oysteritas sucked down, and countless other culinary delights enjoyed by all in attendance! Once we closed down the clubhouse, several of the partygoers retired to gather around Ken Robertson's firepit to continue the good times as Ken cooked hot dogs and delicious gourmet sausage delights on the outdoor grill of the H3 he brought for all to sample.
Here are a few pictures of the evening's festivities:

Fellow Oyster Eaters,
Rae and I are sorry we didn't get to meet many of you during our brief stop. I have somehow managed to pinch a nerve in my hip that has made it almost impossible for me to sit or walk without a serious amount of pain. In fact, I tried to walk down to the clubhouse last night and made it about 100 yards before turning back.
Luckily for me Rae is quite able to drive the bus, so we lit out for Houston this morning with her at the wheel and Abbie
serving as co-pilot and stewardess.
Hopefully we'll get to see everyone at POG X.
