Time to shuck ‘em! On Saturday, March 7, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Saluda Shoals Foundation will host its 13th annual Shuckin’ on the Shoals fundraiser event. Hosted at Saluda Shoals Park East, located at 5605 Bush River Road, in Columbia, event highlights include delicious oysters, craft beer, hot chili, wine, live music, and raffles and drawings for great prizes! Kicking off at 9 a.m., this fun-filled, family-friendly event will feature a 5K Run and Family Fun Walk, followed by a VIP Oyster Roast.
Proceeds will benefit Saluda Shoals Park and its efforts to connect people to nature through environmental education, outdoor recreation, and the cultural arts! Programs and projects supported this year include: the addition of a mosaic at Leo’s Landing, created by Irmo High School art students and teachers; the Spring and Fall Jazz Series; the 4th of July concert; the Summer Adventure Squad program for underserved youth; and an evening at Holiday Lights on the River for Fort Jackson soldiers.
