Excitement permeated the air Thursday night as Saltus River Grill hosted its Third Annual Wine Dinner benefiting the Beaufort International Film Festival. More than 100 patrons who supported the cultural community enjoyed a delectable feast prepared by Chef Brian Waters. While perusing the silent auction items, film fans also sipped a delightful new cocktail created especially for the event by bartender Kristan Button, appropriately named the “Great Santini.”

If you are interested in supporting the film festival, join the Beaufort Film Society for another fun-filled evening at Sweetgrass Restaurant on Dataw Island, Tuesday, February 5 from 6-8 p.m. with “celebrity” bartenders. And make plans to participate in the 7th Annual Beaufort International Film Festival, February 13 to 17. Tickets may be purchased at 708 Carteret Street, 713 Craven Street or online at Beaufortfilmfestival.com.
