From August 9 (Friday) to August 11 (Sunday), three events will be celebrated by Yarmouth to showcase the local seafood delicacies. The marquee event provides an opportunity to the local people to showcase their talent in something “they do best” said the Yarmouth Seafood and Wine Extravaganza committee chairman, Carole Hill Bojarski. She said, “This is all about our community and being together. We never celebrate the best things that we do here. Why don’t we want to celebrate that we have the best seafood in the world?’
