The Yemassee Revitalization Committee (YRC) remains on track to raise funds and awareness about improvement projects in their rural town, such as restoring the old but still functioning Amtrak station. On Saturday March 6th from 3 until 8 p.m. the YRC conducted a fundraiser at Auldbrass Plantation. Auldbrass Plantation has a famous pedigree in that renowned Frank Lloyd Wright designed its lodges and 'crooked' fences. Guests at the YRC affair titled 'Yemassee on the Wright Track' were invited to tour the home, stroll the grounds and party on the piazza. Heavy hors d'oeuvres and libations will preceeded the auction with several one of a kind items involving recreational opportunities on other properties in the ACE Basin. Jazz pianist Lavon Stevens played for the guests before and after the auction, with funds raised dedicated to restoring and beautifying downtown Yemassee.
