While many men might try to skip an art auction or feign ignorance about raffles that involve jewelry or make-up, the men who attend the Oyster Eat quickly get into the shopping spirit when presented with items with them in mind.

This year, $10 will buy three raffle tickets offering participants a chance at winning a Ducks Unlimited Edition Beretta 686 Onyx Over and Under 20 gauge shotgun. The winner will also get one of the limited edition commemorative coins.

The oyster knife auction is also back. However, this year’s auction features not one but two handcrafted oyster knives made by Neil Green. Green’s dad, Rocky, who has made the oyster knife in years past crafted a special wooden box for the knives.

According to Briggs, the excitement of the auction really loosens the purse strings for some.

“The oyster knife auction is a great fundraiser for us,” Briggs said. “One year, we even auctioned a knife for $9,000.”
