A large crowd came out for the 17th annual Bull & Oyster festival at the Virginia Horse Center this past Saturday. Diners were treated to a full array of menu items, including fresh shucked, roasted, and pan-fried oysters, brisket, craft beer and local wine. Live bluegrass music was again provided by Gary Ruley and Mule Train, while outside the tent, festival goers could sit in the sun or play cornhole. The Bull & Oyster festival is a major fundraiser for the Rockbridge Area Health Center. (Joann Ware photos)
