1st Annual ITNCharlestonTrident Oyster Roast (Shucking for Seniors)

Under sunny skies with a warm breeze blowing in off the ocean, the Independent Transportation Network (ITNCharlestonTrident) hosted its 1^st Annual ITN Oyster Roast on Sunday, March 7^th. 100 friends and supporters of the community based alternative transportation for seniors and the visually impaired in the lowcountry engaged in the “Shucking for Seniors” event. Bushels after bushels of the steaming mollusks were shucked while the participants enjoyed listening to live music by the Folly Dogs. Tunes covered the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s along with contemporary hits and requests. A silent auction attracted many competitive bidders hoping to win items ranging from website development to wine baskets. Folly Beach Crab Shack owner Ron Hill and his staff did an outstanding job of providing delicious food and drinks for the attendees. The 2^nd Annual ITN Oyster Roast is expected to be even bigger and better (if that’s possible).
