The Hama Hama Oysterama is this Saturday. Do you have a mouth that you like to put things into? Some other functioning senses? You will enjoy the Hama Hama Oysterama very, very much.

The Hama Hama Company is a shellfish farm, located where the nearly unbearably scenic Hamma Hamma River meets Hood Canal (photos and a guide to life on the farm are over here). The Hama Hama Oysterama is a party on the beach with Hama Hama and Blue Pool oysters (on the half shell, bacon-wrapped, barbecued, and fried), steamed clams, pan-fried crab cakes, Hood Canal spot prawns, barbecued pork sliders from Union-based Smokin Mo’s Catering, salads (if you must), hand-dipped Olympic Mountain Ice Cream, and Grove Street Brewery Beer. Also, live music (by Sideways Reign), tideflat tours (educational but actually fun), and the Shuckathalon (!). Also, it benefits a local school.

Directions to the Oysterama are over here—there's the Beautiful Route: 2.5 hours, and the Fast Route: 2 hours.

You will need a ticket—and they are reportedly going fast—so get on it.
