The annual Oyster Roast & Shrimparoo is here to help raise funds for two very important programs in our community and the deadline to purchase tickets is getting closer.

The United Way of Harnett County and the Power Source Volunteers are joining forces to hold their 10th annual Oyster Roast & Shrimparoo on Thursday, March 7 at Ag Equipment Direct, LLC, located at 4367 U.S. Hwy. 301 North, Dunn. All proceeds go toward supporting the community through the United Way of Harnett County and the Power Source Volunteers.

Do you love oysters, but don’t enjoy shucking them yourself? Hire a shucker to do the work for you. The Oyster Roast & Shrimparoo offers all-you-can-eat steamed gulf oysters and shrimp, hushpuppies, coleslaw, crackers, a variety of condiments, iced tea and soft drinks.

All tickets must be purchased in advance and ticket sales end Wednesday, Feb. 27. Don’t miss this unique opportunity for some great food and camaraderie! To purchase your Oyster Roast & Shrimparoo tickets for $50 each, call Julie Wahl at 892-8071, ext. 2151.
