The
14th Annual Seafood Festival and Craft Show at the Long
Island Maritime Museum was held Saturday
and Sunday, August 27 and 28, 2005 with
visitors from all over Long Island arriving
to taste the great seafood, listen to
awesome music, shop for crafts, see classic
boats and take in the great scenery. Just
like the weather, the festival was
spectacular!
The
Suffolk County Police were on hand to help
coordinate the enormous traffic and the Boy
Scouts of America troop were there to help
guide the walkers.
 Greeting
the festival goers at the entrance was John
Corr with Irish and Nautical music and
farther by the water "Snipdrift"
who entertained the crowed with Songs of the
Sea. All About Eyes' Richard Tripicovsky had
sungear to keep everybody looking cool and
The Flower & Garden Shoppe of Sayville
showcased some of their amazing items. The
Suffolk County Woodcarvers Guild got a lot
of attention with cheerful gnomes and the Noah's
Ark Raffle. Some of the food was provided by
Kingston's Clam Bar from West Sayville and
Hewlett Fish Market which included scrumptious
steamed muscles, whole lobsters, shrimp and calamari.
There was also plenty of freshly roasted
sweet corn, Poppa Mia's Italian Ices
and home made lemonade.
 Some of the musical highlights included Vinny St. Marten & The Seeing Eye Dog Band, Chris Trousdale of Dream Street,
DHT "Listen to Your
Heart," John DiGeronimo (WBLI's L.I. Idol Winner) , Shecky & The Twangtones and Dr. K's Motown Revue - History of Motown
The
