Best drag race in the Lowcountry returns this weekend

Beaufort Beauties is back this Saturday, March 31, at 7:30 p.m. at The Shed in Port Royal, 809 Parris Ave.
Prominent local businessmen put their best “high heel” forward by dressing as women and competing in a hilarious beauty pageant complete with choreographed musical numbers to raise money for four local charities. The event will be hosted by former “Saturday Night Live” Alum, Terry Sweeney, as the poison-tongued “Lucinda Ravenel.”
This year’s contestants are Mike McFee, Hometown Realty and Beaufort City Councilman; Will McCullogh of Low Country Real Estate; Karl Wells with 104.9 The Surf; Bob Cunningham, Merry Maids; Hank Herring of Green Herring Art Gallery; and Worth Liipfert of Griffith, Saddler and Sharp Law Firm.
Ticket sales and silent auction items will benefit Main Street Beaufort, USA as well as FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice, the Lions Club of Beaufort and Thumbs Up. Miss Congeniality will be crowned according to the man/woman who raises the most money. Your tax deductible tickets can be purchased ahead of time for $25 from Main Street Beaufort at (843)525- 6644 or 101 West Street Extension in downtown Beaufort. Online at WePay Beaufort Beauties 2012. Or $35 at the door. You can also donate money towards a specific beauty’s quest to become Miss Congeniality and cheer on your favorite candidates in person. It’s a truly great evening of fun and laughter!
