Family Night at Mothers' Beach 2019

 

The Fourth Annual Family Night at Mother's Beach was held on July 28, 2019.  Flo’s truck was a huge success as usual and in spite of the extreme windy conditions that curtailed the plans for Get Up-Stand Up paddle boarding and FoBB oyster seeding into the bay, a good time was had by all.
