Taste of Cotuit
Saturday July 29 6-8 PM

Under the Grand Tent at the Dottridge Homestead

The Taste of Cotuit is the Historical Society’s signature event and major fundraiser of the summer season.
An evening of fine wines and delicious food from our local eateries, it brings together neighbors and friends in the same community spirit that exemplifies Cotuit . Our food vendors include the Cotuit Fresh Market, Cotuit Oyster Co., Kettle Ho Restaurant, and Polar Cave Ice Cream. In addition, there is live musical entertainment and a live auction  where guests can bid on unique packages donated by area merchants. We will have 11 door prizes and a live auction starting at 7:00PM, featuring the barn boards from our OVERBOARD project.  These original boards, salvaged from a New England barn, were given to local artisans who have crafted something special out of them. All proceeds from the Taste go directly towards the Scholarship, Programs  and Historical Preservation activities of HSSC.
HSSC Members $60               Non-Members $75​

 As of sunrise July 12, 2017 shellfish areas within the Town of Barnstable in accordance with Chapter 130, section 74A of the Massachusetts General Laws, MGL,  the Division of Marine Fisheries has determined that those areas closed due to rainfall on July 7, 2017, now meet the National Shellfish Sanitation Program guidelines for an “OPEN” status.     

Therefore under authority of MGL, Chapter 130, Section 74A, 75 and 322 CMR  7.01 (7) the below-defined areas will revert to their former status prior to the closure of July 7, 2017; effective at sunrise Wednesday, July 12, 2017. 

Those areas previously classified as APPROVED and  in the “OPEN “ status to shellfish harvesting are now open to the harvest of shellfish for direct  human consumption subject to local rules and regulations under authority of MGL Chapter 130, section 52. Similarly, those areas classified as CONDITIONALLY APPROVED are open subject to the classification conditions. Areas classified as RESTRICTED, CONDITIONALLY RESTRICTED and PROHIBITED remain closed to the harvest of shellfish for direct human consumption.
