Brian Harrelson, president of the Beaufort Area Ducks Unlimited Chapter, worked as a co-chairperson with Lorin Siegel to put on the second annual Waterfowl Warrior Weekend that raised money to protect duck habitat in the Lowcountry while honoring military families. The Conservation Banquet and BBQ dinner was held at Beaufort Town Center on Saturday, Dec. 14. Despite the bad weather, more than 300 people were in attendance and the banquet raised more than $30,000. Other hardworking volunteers for the event included Mary Lohr, Tommy and Kelly Collins, Jay Lovell, Tradd Stanley, Mark Bland, Jon Caruthers, Sean Burchfield and Keith Peffer. Ducks Unlimited is the world’s leader in wetlands and waterfowl conservation. Here are some pics:
