Oyster Roast this Friday

This name is so fun, I have to share it. The Winyah Rivers Foundation is having their annual River Roast South at a place called Hobcaw Barony.

They offer an oyster roast, southern buffet, tea, beer, and wine. Food and drinks are from the Litchfield Beach Fish House and the New South Brewing Company. The annual meeting begins on Friday, January 29th at 5:00 p.m., and the oyster roast and buffet begin at 6:00 p.m.

The fundraiser will help the Waccamaw Riverkeepers protect the rivers of the Winyah Bay watershed. Sounds fun... and tasty. You can get tickets online or by calling Christine Ellis at 843-349-4007. Have a toast to the rivers!

River Trip!

The Riverspeak News from the Winyah Rivers Foundation offers an upcoming paddle trip on the Waccamaw River. This photo, taken by Ed Kay, shows members of the Yakkity Yakers Club on a previous river run. The paddle series, “If The River Could Talk,” continues with a new trip you can join. On Saturday, October 3rd, the morning float on the Waccamaw River departs at 9 a.m. from Wacca Wache Marina in Murrells Inlet, SC. We can row along with the Waccamaw Riverkeeper and Foundation members to enjoy the river's delights.

A reservation is required. Contact Winyah Rivers Foundation in Conway, SC; 843-349-4007, wrk@coastal.edu, or www.winyahrivers.org for more details.
