Gumbo, Jambalaya, & Oysters in the Valentine Meadow at HBS (888 Horse Cove Rd), Cajun Casual Attire

Thank you for making our 2023 Highlands on the Half-Shell oyster roast a success! It was wonderful to see so many enthusiastic individuals come together for a common cause on Sunday. Thanks to your generosity, we not only had a fantastic time but also raised significant funds to support our mission of stimulating, promoting, and funding biological research and education in the southern Appalachians.

The event wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our Host Committee, volunteers, and, of course, all of you who attended. Please stay tuned for updates on how your support is making a difference in our community.

Special Thank You to Our Highlands on the Half-Shell Host Committee!
