OGEECHEE RIVERKEEPER HOST OYSTERS FOR THE OGEECHEE

The event features silent auction, raffle, and plenty of fun

 

Ogeechee Riverkeeper’s (ORK) annual oyster roast is back this fall! Oysters for the Ogeechee will be held Thursday, November 3, 6-9 p.m. at the Isle of Hope Marina. A ticket includes all-you-can-eat freshly steamed oysters, plus delicious barbecue and sides from Barnes Restaurant as well as unlimited beer and wine. Moon River Brewing is creating a special, exclusive Ogeechee River flavor. 

With fabulous tunes from DJ Jose Ray, amazing silent auction items, and the return of the popular Mystery ORCA Cooler raffle prize package, it’s going to be the best party of the season. And most importantly, it is in celebration of 50 years of the Clean Water Act, and it supports the crucial work of ORK.
