If you like oysters, this is your chance to put your taste buds to work for a good cause. Airlie Gardens’ annual Low Country Oyster Roast is coming up next month.
The event includes music, dancing, barbecue and, of course, oysters. All the proceeds go to support Airlie’s Environmental Education program, featuring field trips that are free for New Hanover County schools.
“We do a second grade program, which is our butterfly curriculum for life cycles. We also do a third grade, which is soils,” said Airlie Gardens director Jim McDaniel. “Most importantly is the eighth grade, which is water quality, which, of course, the oyster roast ties right into that water quality mission.”
Airlie’s oyster roast is Friday, October 16th from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. Tickets are $75.
