Rawleigh Oyster Fest: Smoke & Shuck is Saturday Nov 7 at 1 PM at Raleigh Iron Works off Whitaker Mill. NC oyster farms, barbecue, craft beer, and Jack the Radio playing. Money goes to the Frankie Lemmon School which is cool. Never been to anything at Iron Works, is it a good setup for a big crowd?

Iron Works is great for this, lots of open space between the buildings. Parking is the tight part, we biked over from Five Points.

Get there at 1 on the dot. Oyster lines double by 3.

Jack the Radio is a fun local band if you haven't seen them. Bring cash just in case, some of the smaller farm tents were card only last time and some were cash only, it was weird.

watch your cracks

Biking might be the move. Is there a rack or do you just lock to whatever?

There were a couple racks near the Whitaker Mill side, filled up fast though. Fences work in a pinch.
