Aw, shucks! The 2018 High West Oyster Fest.
The High West Oyster Fest, an annual fundraiser hosted by Jax Fish House, moved from Boulder to Denver this year. On April 4, fans of the bivalve gathered at Exdo to sip and slurp while watching oyster-shucking and -eating contests, won by Ben Wolven and a team including Steve "Guido" Orth and Michael Hoang, respectively.  All photos by Danielle Lirette.
