Aaron Zandvliet (right) sucks back oysters to win the Sage Pub's fifth annual Shuck 'n Suck competition. His partner, Andrew Cook, quickly shucks them. The race involves teams of two with one person shucking oysters and the other person sucking them back. Zandvliet and Cook were the defending champions. This was Zandvliet's second year and Cook's third year as a champion. This fun event contrasts with some of the more classy events taking place during the Osoyoos Oyster Festival at resort hotels and wineries. (Richard McGuire photo)
