MILFORD, Conn. (WFSB) - Thousands of people attended the 49th annual Milford Oyster Festival on Saturday. Some had concerns for this year's festival after three people died after being exposed to Vibrio bacteria found in shellfish and brackish seawater. However, festival organizers took extra measures to ensure the shellfish was safe to eat. They say they're even going beyond state regulations by monitoring the oyster's temperature and overall cleanliness. In addition, there are currently no warnings from the Connecticut Department of Health for Connecticut waters.
