Lowcountry Life

Kathy Scott, left, and Brian Day help stack some of the four cords of freshly spit wood Thursday morning at Live Oaks Park in Port Royal. The wood will be used for the bonfire during Beaufort Charities’ “Palooza In The Park” oyster roast Saturday at Live Oak Park in Port Royal. About 20 volunteers from OPFOB veteran’s group operating four hydraulic splitters took two hours to split four cords of wood for the event. What is not used during the Beaufort Charities event will be used in the OPFOB’s 22 Days of Light, an event keeping a flame alive 24 hours per day for 22 days, which was to begin on March 4, to remember those military veterans and first responders who have committed suicide, averaging 22 per day.
