Tickets On Sale For Bull & Oyster Fest
The Rockbridge Bull & Oyster Fest, a fundraiser for Rockbridge Area Health Center, returns for its 18th year at the Virginia Horse Center on Saturday, April 4, from 1 to 5 p.m. – rain or shine.
‘Our annual signature event has sold out every year for the past four years. Each year, attendance and enthusiasm have grown even more,” said Suzanne Sheridan, RAHC CEO. “We are working hard to prepare for another sellout. We advise everyone to buy their tickets early so they don’t miss what will likely be another unforgettable experience.
The outdoor, tented event will be held on the horse center’s hill overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and will feature freshly shucked, roasted, and pan-fried oysters, barbeque, craft beer, local wine, games, and live music.
“The health center is dedicated to offering affordable and accessible health care to Rockbridge County and nearby areas, and we hope this annual fundraiser will also support community businesses and local culture,” continued Sheridan.
Music will be provided throughout the afternoon by Gary Ruley and Mule Train, the musical ensemble led by veteran flat-picking guitarist and vocalist Gary Ruley.
“Mule Train includes a vibrant collection of talented musicians who support and share Gary’s passion for delivering the powerful acoustic sounds of bluegrass and newgrass,” she added. “We are so proud that they will, once again, join us for our event.”
As a nonprofit organization, the event’s net proceeds will support RAHC’s mission to provide comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable healthcare services to anyone, regardless of income.
Early-bird tickets are now available for purchase through the end of February and include food, live entertainment, and one beverage ticket. For tickets and more information, visit www.RockAHC.org.
