Ogeechee Riverkeeper’s (ORK) annual oyster roast has a new location this fall. Oysters for the Ogeechee will be held Wednesday, November 13, 6-9 p.m. at the Love’s Seafood and Steaks, on the banks of the Ogeechee River. A ticket includes all-you-can-eat freshly steamed oysters, plus chicken fingers and sides prepared by Love’s and beer from Service Brewing.

Music will be provided by outlaw country band, Damon & the Sh*tkickers. The riverside party will also include a silent auction and the return of the popular Mystery ORCA Cooler raffle prize package. Most importantly, it supports the work of ORK. It also will act as ORK’s annual meeting by sharing updates from the past year and highlighting future priorities.

“We are thrilled to bring our main annual event to the banks of the Ogeechee, and we are especially proud to be part of Love’s recovery from the flood,” said Meaghan Walsh Gerard, communications and administrative director of ORK. “They are a local institution and are honored they agreed to host our event.”
