| Hot Local Oysters Ready To Shuck |

| A Table Full of Land Trust Donors |
The 2023 edition of the Edisto Island Open Land Trust at Sand Creek Farm, was also the first time it was combined with the I Love Edisto Auction. Who doesn't love a double-header when it comes to the conservation on Edisto Island!! The sunshine was at full strength at noon on October 29 and the shade form the Live oaks offered the oyster table stations a perfect setting. Caterer Jame Westendorf's crew served up 60 bushels of the local clusters for the usual suspects to slurp up in record time. Then the main course buffet was revealed to a crush of friends and family for continued fellowship over BBQ, chicken and all the Lowcountry side dishes that we expect and enjoy.

Auctioneer Tom Crawford and Director John Girault made the Live Auction look easy as they sold off exclusive trips, and one-of-a-kind items to conservation bidders. The raffles were drawn, and the Silent Auction winners shared with friends what they had claimed during online bidding. The Edisto Gumbo Band played on after the I Love Edisto auction and folks lingered right up until the 5 p.m. closing time. Everyone enjoyed the creek views and were grateful to the event hosts for sharing the acreage that they have placed under conservation easement.
