hitch.

the risk of leaving someone out, we are extending our appreciation
and sincere thanks to everyone who helped with setting up the event
site, did traffic control, and sold tickets. Thanks to the people
who cooked the seafood, cooked the food for the volunteers, and
served the food, beer and other beverages. Thanks to the clam
shuckers, corn shuckers and musical entertainment announcer. Thank
you also to the people who sold raffles and merchandise and to the
clean up crew who worked hours after the event.
Special thanks to:

- Suffolk County Legislator Kate Browning for the Grant towards the advertising and entertainment
- Colonial Youth and Family Service volunteers who worked tirelessly throughout the day keeping the area free of litter
