| Chef Nico Romo with Annie from Keegan Filion Farms at Lowndes Grove Fundraiser |
The folks at Keegan-Filion Farms in Walterboro had a recent fire that burned one of their old barns. Besides losing the barn, built in the 1930’s by Annie’s grandfather, also lost in the fire were over 100 birds, turkey and hog feed, and numerous farm tools.
Patrick Properties Hospitality Group coordinated a fundraising event that was held this afternoon on the grounds of Lowndes Grove Plantation with the goal of raising $20,000. Chefs from the lowcountry's best restaurants donated their food and services. It was great to see everyone working together to raise the funds needed to rebuild the barn.Thanks to all the coordinators and volunteers who pulled off this great event. It's nice to live in a town where people take care of each other.

With all that wonderful community effort, I hope that the funds were raised enough to meet the goal!
ReplyDeletegreat series of photos and glad to see the farm is pulling back out.
ReplyDeleteNice portraits, Joan. Don't you love it when a community gets behind an event like this?
ReplyDeleteI am sure they did make enough money. They announced $15,000 when I was there and the restaurant SNOB them announced that they had been selling a special drink during January and putting all the profit to the cause. Between those two efforts I expect they will reach their goal. A nice thing to be part of.
