Keeping Your Home Warm and Cozy This Fall and Winter with The Valley Fireplace
Then & Now…the 30th Annual Oyster Festival Now in its 30th year, the annual Oyster Festival is an Oyster Bay tradition that area residents look forward to every year. The festival takes place next weekend, and includes a myriad of music, festivities, and of course, food. This year, you can explore a tall ship, a fire boat, not just one but two of the two oldest oyster sloops in the nation, go on pirate treasure hunts, a scavenger hunt, visit the huge multiple tents filled with handmade crafts, enjoy the music, carnival rides, an exotic petting zoo and sample the freshest, most delicious oysters and seafood ever. One of the largest fundraisers of its kind, the Oyster Festival is a project of the Oyster Bay Rotary Club and supported by the Oyster Bay Charitable Fund. Profits from all food court sales directly support 25 participating local charities while proceeds from carnival rides and merchandise sales is donated to additional charities supported by the Rotary throughout the year. Admission is free. Parking is free. And most activities are free. A family-friendly event, the Oyster Festival remains alcohol-free and pet-free.
A Storied Past Almost 155 years ago, Theodore Roosevelt — the 26th President of the United States — was born to a wealthy family that summered in Oyster Bay not far from the
waterfront property that today bears his name. To honor his memory, community leaders organized a parade to celebrate his 125th birthday. The parade proved so successful that it provided the roots of what would become the Oyster Festival in 1983. Today the Oyster Festival is a much-awaited annual event that consistently attracts approximately 200,000 visitors from along the East Coast. Its continued success is due to the dedication of members of the Oyster Bay Rotary who are committed to this event year-round and to the members of the Long Island business community that sponsor the event. This 30th anniversary event is made possible in part by Verizon, the title sponsor. “Verizon is honored to be a part of this year’s 30th Anniversary Oyster Festival. This event offers us a great opportunity to engage with many consumers and demonstrate the superior value of our products and services,” said Patrick A. Lespinasse, Verizon’s Director of State Government Affairs. “It also allows us to give back to the local community through our continuing work with the non-profits involved as well as Island Harvest and Coin Harvest to fight hunger on Long Island. We look forward to seeing everyone during the festival.” The 30th Annual Oyster Festival takes place at on the Waterfront at Theodore Roosevelt Park in Oyster Bay, from11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday* (Fireworks by Grucci at 7 p.m.) and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Arts & Crafts tents, sponsored by the North Shore/LIJ Health System Hospitals, offers an opportunity to start holiday shopping early. More than 140 vendors- all showcasing handmade wares- will be housed within three huge tents along the beautiful bay. Booth fees from these vendors help support a myriad of charitable efforts by the Oyster Bay Rotary. “These coveted spots are nearly sold out each year by the third week of January,” said Mel Warren, the arts and crafts coordinator since 1996, who began his relationship with the Oyster Festival in the early 80’s as a vendor himself, selling handmade leather crafts. “We start planning the next event right away in November, and to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Ahoy, Mates! Experience The Waterfront The Schooner Mystic
Each year thousands of people rush to the Oyster Festival in anticipation of the Tall Ships that will be present. This year features the Schooner Mystic, a newly launched (2007) three-masted, gaff-rigged, square topsail schooner. She is home-ported in Mystic, CT, from June through September. In the winter months her sailing waters are in the Bahamas. When she changes destination areas in the fall and spring, she sails briefly in the Chesapeake Bay on her way south or north. She carries 8,500 square feet of sail in her 14 sails, including square sails on the foremast, and gaff topsails on the after two masts. Mystic is a U.S. Flagged vessel; she and her Officers are certified for Open Ocean Routes, and she carries all U.S. Coast Guard required safety equipment for those routes. Her main deck is comfortably appointed with a beautiful main salon/dining area, and a lounge (both with wrap-around view), plus a ship’s store. Mystic has wide decks for sunbathing, folding lounge chairs for the ultimate in relaxation, as well
as permanent deck-box seating, fulllength on port and starboard. There is plenty of room for conversation, sea gazing, reading, and even fishing.

The John J. Harvey served the FDNY from her launch in 1931 to her retirement in 1994. At 130 feet and 268 net tons, she is among the most powerful fireboats ever in service. She has five 600 HP diesel engines, and has capacity to pump 18,000 gallons of water a minute. Her pumps are powerful -- enough so that when she and the George Washington Bridge were both brand new, she shot water over the bridge’s roadway. Among the marine fires at which she assisted were, the Cunard Line pier fire in 1932, the burning of the Normandie in 1942, and the ammunition ship El Estero during World War II. She was named for marine fireman John J. Harvey, killed when the Thomas Willet exploded during a fire. She retired as Marine 2. She was retired by the New York City Fire Department in 1994 and she is now owned by a small group who bought her at auction in 1999. She was placed on The National Register of Historic Places in June 2000. Her owners have been working since 1999 to raise awareness of the importance of historic vessels to the history of New York City and the United States — and they are succeeding. With their trips up the Hudson, they are promoting interest in the waterfront for towns in New York State. They offer public access to the harbor, training in new skills, and a chance to preserve an important part of history. Cost: Free Location: West End Waterfront Pier
Anne is pronounced “Annie”, which was a standard pronunciation of that spelling in 1884 when she was built in Smithtown, Long Island. It is our language that has changed in the last 126 years, not her name. She was built by local townspeople as repayment to the grocer for debts incurred during hard times. Originally Anne was a gaff rigged centerboard sloop with no engine. She was used to carry deck cargo. In 1895 she was modified with a steam engine and is, to our knowledge, the only vessel still in operation that was modernized by the addition of steam. In 1905 the steam engine was replaced by a 20 hp gasoline engine.
She has had at least five different power plants since then. Anne is now powered by a 6 cylinder 200 hp John Deere diesel. In 1922 the flat transom was replaced with the round fantail you see today to make her better suited for towing an oyster dredge. In 1955 Anne was lengthened four feet to lessen her draft. Her history is chronicled in the book Working Thin Waters by Stephen Jones, her present owner. Cost: Free Location: West End Waterfront Pier
The Christeen Also present will be The Christeen, a 40-foot gaff rigged sloop. She is the oldest oyster sloop in America and a National Historic Landmark. She was originally built in 1883 for Captain William Smith in Glenwood Landing, for the purpose of harvesting oysters in Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor. Over her 125 years, the Christeen served not only as an oyster dredge but also as a cargo carrier and live-aboard between Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. After surviving 16 major hurricanes, numerous nor’easters, two sinkings and severe neglect, the Christeen was returned home to Oyster Bay in 1992. A dedicated group of volunteers worked tirelessly on the restoration of the Christeen — working alongside a full-time shipwright and raising more than $300,000. The Christeen was completely restored and launched in 1999. Come aboard this National Historic Landmark, Christeen, the oldest Oyster Sloop in North America, for a sail around beautiful West Harbor and Oyster Bay. View these harbors from a different viewpoint as you cut through the water under sail and look towards the shore. See wildlife, important landmarks, and learn about some of the history of the home of a former president. With a marine educator, learn more about the marine life that call Oyster Bay home; a unique opportunity offered only through WaterFront Center’s Christeen. Schedule: Saturday and Sunday; sails begin promptly at 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Ages: 5 and older Cost: $25 per person

Location: Artificial Turf Field at Theodore Roosevelt Park the community in traditional boatbuilding projects.” The process of completing this project is as important as the end result as it requires the work of many volunteers under the guidance of local shipwright Josh Herman. The achievement of a group of people learning new skills and working together to create a significant vessel will enhance the value of the Ida May. Since 2009, Building J, a large shed on the western waterfront, has been transformed into a boat building shop and construction of the Ida May is about 25 percent complete with her frame assembled. The next phase to frame and plank the deck is about to begin. The Christeen Corp is raising capital to complete the project.
