They held on for 3 days when Billy Dixon made a 1,500 made an outstanding shot bringing down one indian. The tribes were relocated to Oklahoma. Another outstanding job by Jerry!

Program was Mike Lytle who told us all about oyster farming. He started in 1987. He relayed about oyster industry history. And then told us how to grow them. Oysters in Gray’s Harbor are Pacific Oysters. They are not natural; they have been brought in. Mike grows them on ropes which keeps them out of the mud. This way they have a good survival rate. Oysters from different areas taste differently because of the rivers that feed the harbor. He sells in the U. S., Canada, Hong Kong, etc. He employs about 20 workers. This was a very good overview of his oyster business. Well done Mike!

Pot – Chris Eide and he was present to collect it.
