Friday September 9 was a magical night with a full "Shorefest lobster" moon delighting the guests of Shorefest 2022,  the annual fundraising event for the Friends of Sherwood Island State Park.  Guests enjoyed appetizers, beer & wine, steamers and clams, lobster dinner with all the fixings and hand-crafted desserts.  Live jazz was performed by the talented student musician Karl Schultz, and the silent auction offered plenty of options for restaurants, art, goods and services.  Funds go toward the Friends' many activities at the park, including dune restoration, 100 Trees for 100 Years, paid internships at the Nature Center, educational programs for all ages, and the Friends'  yearlong efforts to protect one of our State's irreplaceable natural resources. If you missed it, come next year!
