Mobjack Tavern, 5036 George Washington Memorial Highway, Hayes, invites the community to a special lunch fundraising event on Monday to support the Adopt an Oyster initiative. Five percent of all lunch sales from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. that day will be donated to the restoration of the oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay.
The event is co-hosted by Oyster Festival Queen contestant Cara Moss and Little Miss Spat contestant Sawyer Edwards, who are both committed to the cause of preserving this vital marine resource. Anyone can attend and purchase lunch.
