The Eastern Shore Chapter of Ducks Unlimited Set to Hold November Oyster Roast Fundraiser

The Eastern Shore Chapter of Ducks Unlimited is pleased to announce its event of the season – a DU Membership Social, to be held on Saturday, November 23, at the Barrier Islands Center located at 7295 Young Street in Machipongo, VA.

This tented event is one you certainly won’t want to miss! The gates will open at 4:30 p.m. and the event will kick off with music by DJD Productions who will also offer up a photo booth. An Eastern Shore Oyster Roast will begin at 4:30 p.m. with an all-you-can-eat menu of roasted oysters, steamed clams and barbeque with all the fixings. The museum will be open to tour throughout the festivities.

Silent and live auctions will follow featuring original artwork by local Eastern Shore carvers and artists. Raffles for guns and many other interesting items will be ongoing throughout the evening.

Advance ticket prices for this event are $60 per person, which includes food; “Bottomless” cups/glasses for beer and Chatham Vineyards wine; and an annual membership to Ducks Unlimited. There will be no couples tickets this year and tickets purchased at the door will be $100 per person, no exceptions (while they last—the event is capped at 275 tickets). In recent years this event has sold out. Sponsor level tickets are $275 for an individual and $300 for a couple.
