"The event is also a kind of contest, complete with a WrestleMania-style gold belt for the elected official who eats the most oysters. Delegate Mike Webert made the belt after his first win four years ago and he’s carried with that honor the chance to announce the new winner even since" #oyster #SaveTheBay #VAPol https://www.wvtf.org/news/2026-02-18/oyster-industry-backed-by-chesapeake-bay-foundation-returns-to-virginias-capital

I donated one of my Puget Sound Garter Snake shells to Gage Academy for their online fundraising auction. Besides for my super-awesome shell, there's a lot of beautiful artwork up for grabs. Take a look!

(And never mind that my art was mis-titled as "...green comma butter" instead of "butterfly." Green butter, mmmmm.)

Online auction is open April 13-27.
