Welcome to the 32nd annual Oyster Festival The 32nd annual Oyster Festival is a project of the Rotary Club of Oyster Bay, which is a part of Rotary International, a volunteer organization whose members embrace the motto, “service above.”

Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Oyster Bay produce the Oyster Bay Oyster Festival through its charitable arm, the Oyster Bay Charitable Fund, Inc. The concept behind the Oyster Festival in its present form is to leverage the power of Rotary volunteers by raising money directly to support local community organizations and Rotary projects through the Oyster Bay Charitable Fund, and by assisting local not-for-profit clubs and organizations to raise their own funds through participation in the Thomas Reardon Memorial Food Court at the Festival. Of course, the Oyster Bay Oyster Festival has the added benefit of showcasing the hamlet of Oyster Bay and the beauty of the waterfront to all who attend, as well as being just plain fun.

The Rotary Club of Oyster Bay welcomes you to the 32nd annual Oyster Bay Oyster Festival. Please safely enjoy all that the Festival has to offer.

Donald Zoeller President, Rotary Club of Oyster Bay

Which is why more parents bring their kids to us.

Kids can’t always say what’s wrong with them. But our pediatric cardiologists can, because they know kids better than anyone. Our entire staff is dedicated to one goal - diagnosing, treating and healing children for everything from playground injuries to complex illnesses.

We have the region’s only stand-alone kids’ emergency department right here on Long Island. Plus we have a system of care that combines a pediatric hospital that treats the most children in New York State, with outpatient care and a wide array of specialty pediatric practices.

For a full list of specialties, visit choosecohen.com.

Or call 1-855-850-8611 to find a pediatric specialist.

Tom Reardon Memorial Food Court Sponsored by Roslyn Savings Bank Named in honor of Tom Reardon, one of the beloved founders of the Oyster Festival, the Tom Reardon Memorial Charity Food Court, sponsored by the Roslyn Savings Bank, is not just the heart of the festival, it is its soul. Food booths are staffed with non-profit employees and volunteers as well as members of the partnering restaurant or catering companies. The profit from each food booth supports that particular charity’s programs.

Each booth features signage clearly stating which charity your purchase is supporting.

With more than 60+ food choices, even the pickiest eater will find quite a few items to devour! Our main attraction are oysters, of course, and we’ll have plenty available raw on the half shell, fried or in stew. Between 40,000-50,000 raw oysters will be consumed throughout the weekend, and all are purchased locally from Frank M. Flower & Sons.

Other seafood options include a full lobster dinner, lobster bisque, lobster rolls, mussels, clams (both raw and steamed), clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, grilled shrimp, soft shell crabs, scallops, crab cakes, crab rolls, seafood gumbo, calamari, fish tacos and much more.

Meat lovers need not despair as there are many

delicious options as well, including bacon on a stick, meatball sliders, pulled pork sandwiches, steak sandwiches, Philadelphia cheese steaks, homemade empanadas, sausage and pepper heroes and, of course, traditional American festival fare.

And not to forget the desserts, which include homemade apple pie a la mode, Belgian waffles with strawberries and cream, deep fried everything, chocolate-dipped everything, frozen hot chocolate, homemade fudge, fruit crepes, and more...

Remember our motto: Calories don’t count when they are consumed in support of a great cause!

Oyster Festival Food Court Guide Participating charities based within the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District have been serving up fresh seafood, ethnic culinary delights and traditional American fare to hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers for the past 32 years. Profits from the Charity Food Court sales remain with each individual non-profit organization that sells the food item to help fund their programming.

The Oyster Festival’s Oyster Booth Food Court — sponsored by Newsday and the Tom Reardon Memorial Charity Food Court, sponsored by Roslyn Savings Bank — is the largest fundraiser, and at times the only fundraiser, that many of these organizations participate in throughout the year.

ing the community in traditional boatbuilding projects.” The process of completing this project is as important as the end result: 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 boatbuilding shop.

Once completed, the boat will be owned and operated by the WaterFront Center, where she will take the public out on the water for recreation and marine and maritime education. The Christeen Corp is raising capital to complete the project. For more information, visit www.idamayproject.org.

John J. Harvey Fireboat

As has become a tradition, the Oyster Festival is honored to welcome the John J. Harvey Fireboat back to Oyster Bay following the 14th anniversary of 9/11.

On Sept. 11, 2001, the boat’s owners asked FDNY officials for permission to assist in evacuations from Ground Zero.

Meanwhile, due to many damaged water mains, fire crews were deprived of water. Officials radioed the Harvey to drop off her passengers as soon as possible and return to the disaster site to pump water, reactivating her official designation Marine 2. Alongside FDNY fireboats and Firefighter John D. McKean, she pumped water at the site for 80 hours, until water mains were restored.

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.

Ida May Project

The Christeen Oyster Sloop Preservation Corporation is building a replica of the historically significant Ida May oyster dredge. The original Ida May was built in Bayville by Frank M. Flower in 1925 and was one of the first powered dredges in the oyster industry. Once completed, the replica will be owned and operated by the WaterFront Center where she will take the public out on the water for recreation and marine and maritime education.

The Christeen

The festival is pleased to showcase The Christeen, a 40foot gaff rigged sloop. She is the oldest oyster sloop in the U.S. and a National Historic Landmark. She was originally built in 1883 for Captain William Smith in Glenwood Landing, N.Y. 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 the 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. As an added bonus, this festival includes an added fun, educational activity for the whole family! With a marine educator, learn more about the marine life that call Oyster Bay home; a unique opportunity offered only through the WaterFront Center’s Christeen.

Cost: $25 per person; ages 5 and older Location: The WaterFront Center, Saturday and Sunday.

Musicians Pack the Main Stage at Oyster Fest Todd Mihan Todd

Iridesense This power pop band — featuring

Tara Eberle-Drouin on vocals/bass guitar, Rick Eberle on vocals/rhythm guitar, Rob Viccari on lead guitar, and drummer Rich Drouin — has been going strong since 1993.

Their music can be heard on Nickelodeon in the shows Zoey 101 (featuring Jaime Lynn Spears) and Drake & Josh. They’ve also been featured on MTV shows such as Pimp My Ride, Room Raiders, NEXT and on an episode of the show Boiling Points. Their “Secret Constellation” three song EP was released in mid-March 2013 and marks their best effort yet.

Charlie Dane An accomplished singer, song-

writer and musician, Charlie Dane is a multi-talented solo artist with the soulful, powerful voice of an older generation. For the past three-plus years Dane has performed on main stages such as NYC’s Sullivan Hall, Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum and L.A.’s famous Genghis Cohen.

Dane has shared the stage with the legendary George Porter, Jr. and has opened for famous New Orleans based bands The Radiators, Papa Grows Funk, Soulive as well as Aaron Carter and many others.

She describes her original music as “pop-soul” and continues to amaze audiences with her mature lyrics and nuanced multi-octave voice. She is currently recording in studio and is constantly writing, recording and working on original pieces. Her songs are a reflection of who she is and what she has experienced in her life.

She writes about loss, regret, fears, hope and the importance of being an individual who is not afraid to be herself.

Mihan delivers guitar charged country rock from upstate’s Hudson Valley.

“Todd Mihan has all the ingredients that are necessary in order to stand out from the endless competition out there....great playing, vocals, recording/production, killer guitar tones and most of all solid songs,” raves guitarist/producer John Platania (Van Morrison, Chip Taylor, and Bonnie Raitt).

Born in Memphis, Tenn. and upstate New York-raised, Mihan became interested in music in his early teens when his Dad bought him a cheap acoustic and some lessons at the local music store. He recalls leaving a BMX race early one Saturday afternoon to attend his first practice. He never looked back. Throughout his musical journey, he has shared the stage with both rock and country acts including Jerrod Niemann, David Nail, Josh Thompson, Blackberry Smoke, Motley Crue, Ronnie Montrose, Twisted Sister, Jefferson Starship and more.

that sense. It starts with an apology and takes us on a man’s journey to become his best self for the woman he lives for. We are all a bit angel and a bit animal, we do the best we can.”

NewNewLifeLifeCrisis Crisis, “the Planet’s Might-

iest Independent Original Mashup Band,” has survived and thrived in the age of the Internet. As one of the first bands to exclusively sell mp3’s through their own web site in 2002 (nearly a year before the iTunes store opened), New Life Crisis has forged ahead of the music industry by building a loyal global audience online for nearly 10 years.

Their unique “no setlist” policy has become legendary — with lead singer Paul Mahos directing the band like a club DJ — feeling out the audience and tailoring an experience exclusively for the vibe of the room. Jeff Allegue on lead guitar, Steve O on drums and Steve B on bass are at the top of their game, each adding their own special sauce to the potent mix they create every night. Their music has been featured on numerous TV shows and films and various compilation CDs.

Ryan Star Dubbed “The alt-rock Frank

Ocean” by Paper Magazine, Brooklynbased Ryan Star’s music is popping up in films such as P.S. I Love You and hit television shows like The Vampire Diaries, as well as the theme song to Lie To Me. Given his live-show prowess, he’s been tapped to share the stage with many incredible artists, from Imagine Dragons to Bon Jovi to Maroon 5. His 2010 full-length major label debut, “11:59,” landed at #10 on Billboard’s Rock Albums Chart and #4 on the Tastemakers Chart. In 2012, Star’s hit “Stay Awhile” charted Top 30 at Hot AC radio and quickly amassed over 2 million YouTube views.

His current release, “ANGELS + ANIMALS” showcases the best of Star’s signature style: honest stream of consciousness matched with innovative production elements. Star’s goal was to make listening to the album akin to meeting him for the very first time. “It’s very autobiographical,” he says, “I gave only the most raw, most honest version of myself on this record. It’s primal in

The band has opened for The New Riders of the Purple Sage, The David Nelson Band, Railroad Earth, The Robbie Krieger Band, and Commander Cody, among others. The Electrix have established themselves with repeat performances in some of the most popular and biggest festivals and play in a wide variety of venues throughout Long Island and New York City.

One of the Turnpike Joe’s’s original tunes, “You are the Reason,” was chosen for airplay on radio station WBAB 102.3 FM and the band’s version of The Beatles “Birthday” was aired on WHPC 90.3 FM’s “Beatlesongs” show in 2002. Also selected for airplay was the band’s version of Paul McCartney’s “High, High, High” in 2005.

talent to interpret any style of music with warmth, excitement and deep emotion. Going from raw and raspy to velvety smooth with one of the most unique voices, Willie gives his audiences their money’s worth and then some. His humble persona only makes his talent that much more appreciated.

Leslie Zimei, lead vocalist, readily jumped at the chance to work with musicians of this caliber. Not only do the boys in the band provide the best musical atmosphere for her as a singer, but they are all good friends with mutual respect and admiration for one another. The music of Pearl Street is a combination of funk, R&B, blues and jazz, bringing a great selection of songs for listening, dancing and a good time for all!

Turnpike Joe & the Traffic Jam New York’s premier classic rock/

party band, Turnpike Joe & The Traffic Jam has been a major force on the Long Island music scene since 1977.

The band has expanded its gig turf to the New York regional/tri-state area and covers such performers as ZZ Top, Buddy Holly, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chuck Berry, KISS, The Stones, Steve Miller, The Beatles and Tom Petty as well as originals.

Starting in 2005, the band brought its show “Songs You Can Sing To” to the New York library circuit. This popular show features soft-rock favorites by such artists as Simon & Garfunkel, John Denver, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, James Taylor and The Beatles, just to name a few.

former Long Island bands of the past: “Pearly” and “South Street” both of Oyster Bay. The marriage of these bands creates a unique brand of many genres of music.

The band’s talented horn players — John Marshall on tenor sax, Bob Cassara on trombone and John Brierly on trumpet — remain the tightest and most uplifting section to be reckoned with on the local music scene.

Mike Mattia continues to produce the exciting horn arrangements and funkiness on keyboard as he did for the 26-piece band that backed Peggy Lee, Manhattan Transfer and Petula Clark at the Empire Room in New York City. New member drummer Don “Groover” Moffat provides the solid foundation for the group’s many layers and has worked on both coasts for many great artists.

Amusements, thrill rides and game midway What’s a festival without rides? Newton & Sons provides the sensational midway, as they have for many years. The attractions are fun and exciting!

These attractions have provided safe fun for more than 40 years. A wide assortment of rides for children of all ages will be on hand, along with an array of fun sideshow games with great prizes, all sponsored by Wild Bill’s Olde Fashioned Soda.

Not many people buy a ferris wheel upon learning a fourth child is on the way. But in 1949, Lewis Newton, already trying to make ends meet by supplying prizes and stuffed animals to church bazaars, took the chance when a Brooklyn priest suggested he “get some rides.”

Newton invested his savings of $9,300 and his future was delivered in mounds of steel and moving parts. “I couldn’t tell what I was looking at,” Newton said. “So I drove over to Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey and asked the guy who ran the wheel there if he could help me. He saved my life.”

That ferris wheel in post-war Flatbush was, according to Newton, the first amusement ride to make the rounds of the Catholic parishes in Queens and Brooklyn. With his initial success, Newton expanded in 1953. He quit his day job installing insulation for Western Electric and added four rides from a Levittown kiddie park that was forced to close because it was too near a cocktail lounge. During the winter, he stored the amusements in the “boonies,” on 20 acres at Elwood Road and Route 25A in Northport, which he leased for $10 a month.

Now, with 26 rides in tow, Lewis J. Newton & Sons is the biggest carnival operator in Queens, and Nassau and Suffolk counties. Headquartered in East Northport a few miles away from its original storage site, it is one of an estimated 500 such traveling carnivals in North America, all family owned.

The importance of the rubber ducky Back in 1992, a large amount of First Years brand Friendly Floatee bath toys — 28,880 of them — which included yellow rubber ducks, red beavers, green frogs and blue turtles, were washed overboard from a container ship in the Pacific Ocean destined for the U.S. Since Friendly Floatees have no holes, they won’t take on water. Two oceanographers, Curtis Ebbesmeyer and James Ingraham, who were working on an ocean surface current model, tracked their travels. After 10 months they started to wash up along the Alaskan coast, then Washington state, Japan, the Bering Strait, New England, Canada, Iceland and finally Scotland.

The First Years brand offered $100 bonds in 2003 to anyone who found a wayward Floatee.

In all, many traveled 17,000 miles over a 15 year
