Our friends at Cornell need to take a restructuring break from hosting "Shellabration" this year, but we aren't ones to let a good tradition die!

While they restructure, we acknowledge that over 12 years of participating as attendees, as a small oyster farm, and then almost a decade as a principal sponsor and effective ground zero for the event, we have watched it grow, change, meet challenges, stumble as do we all. We hope to see it back on its feet in 2026.

With that said, we believe that Greenport must rise to meet the traditions that many people have built into their calendar and can be important for businesses, small vendors, employees and more.

Via our 501c3 arm, the Hold Fast Fund, we have developed a proposal designed to simultaneously hold space for Cornell, and yet protect and focus on our business community for this year.
