On October 15th, we held our 13th Annual Jacob’s Ladder Oyster Tasting at Merroir Restaurant in Topping, VA. We were blessed with good weather and spent our afternoon listening to great music, enjoying delicious food, and looking back on another incredible year for our Jacob’s Ladder Climbers.
Thanks to everyone who attended. Your presence made it all the more special and we are grateful for your support that allows us to continue to further our mission.
We would also like to thank Davenport & Company, for underwriting this event.
We hope to see everyone back next year, and invite your friends!
