Tickets On Sale Now For Bull & Oyster Fest

RAHC Annual Fundraiser April 13 At VHC
Tickets On Sale Now For Bull & Oyster Fest

The Rockbridge Bull & Oyster Fest, a fundraiser for Rockbridge Area Health Center, returns for its 16th year to the Virginia Horse Center on Saturday, April 13, from 1 to 5 p.m. – rain or shine. Limited discounted early bird tickets are on sale now through Feb. 29.

“Our annual signature event has reached capacity for the past two years. Each successive year has surpassed the last in attendance and enthusiasm,” said Suzanne Sheridan, RAHC CEO. “We are diligently preparing to accommodate another sellout once again. We encourage everyone to secure their tickets early, ensuring they don’t miss out on what promises to be another unforgettable experience.”

The outdoor, tented event will take place on the horse center’s hill overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and will feature fresh shucked, roasted, and pan-fried oysters, barbeque, beer, wine, and live music.

“This popular event focuses on three of Virginia’s finest offerings – beef brisket barbeque, oysters, and talented musicians,” Sheridan added. “The health center is committed to providing affordable and accessible health care to Rockbridge County and surrounding areas, and we want this annual fundraiser to also support community businesses and local culture.”

Music will be provided throughout the afternoon by Gary Ruley and Mule Train, the musical ensemble led by veteran flat-picking guitarist/vocalist Gary Ruley.

“Mule Train includes a vibrant collection of talented musicians who support and share Gary’s drive to present the powerful acoustic sounds of bluegrass and newgrass,” she added. “We are so honored that they will, once again, join us for our event.”

As a nonprofit organization, the event’s net proceeds will support RAHC’s mission to provide comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable healthcare services to anyone, regardless of income.

Discounted early bird tickets are on sale until Feb. 29 at midnight. Beginning March 1, tickets will be $70 and will include food, live entertainment, and one beverage ticket. For tickets and information, visit www.Rock-AHC.org.
