2011 SEWE DU Oyster Roast

The annual DU Oyster Roast at SEWE has grown into a gathering of about 1500 friends looking to celebrate feathers, conservation and more. Warm and sunny conditions greeted the first full day of SEWE and many enjoyed the outdoor venues at Marion Square Park and Brittlebank Park. A few special events crop up each year to 'bridge the gap' between the SEWE daytime and the Ducks Unlimited event that Friday night. One such event was the Audubon Gallery's exhibit that was sponsored by the Charleston Mercury, attracting those drawn to fine wildlife prints. Also, the Niche Gallery hosted a Bourbon and Bucks party in conjunction with Buck-N-Rut Treestands which made for a pleasing mix of hunters and artists at the Code Red Event.
