I got down to the Square just in time for the Oyster eating contest. Whoever could eat 24
oysters on the half shell first would win a 100$ gift certicate to Washington Platform, a
championship medal and the title of Cincinnati's fastest oyster-eater person...

Joe LaReau, Cincinnati's coney-eating champ took the oyster-eating title too after
downing his 24 oysters in some absolutely absurd time like 20 freakin' seconds.

After the contest, there was more Guinness to drink, oysters to eat, music to listen
to and just a whole bunch more fun to be had. Annnd Cincinnati's premiere mixologist,
Molly Wellmann had a Bloody Mary bar all set up. What. Up? Oyster Fest is awesome...
