Clam Jam IV

Over 175 guests came from all over the state to celebrate and support our coastal treasures for Clam Jam IV. Thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Boswell for sharing a wonderful day at Pine Marsh Farm.

Party participants dined on fresh clams, shrimp, and oysters and the best pecan smoked Boston butts ever while enjoying music from the Country Edition Band. An auction provided exciting bidding activity for the generous contributions of art, adventures, and unique gifts.

Thank you to the all of the sponsors, auction contributors, volunteers, and guests for making the event a BIG success.
