The Low Country Shrimp Boil, Highland's signature fundraising event, is happening this year. Due to the uncertainty concerning the COVID-19 coronavirus, Friends of Founders Park Is having a Drive-through (food pickup) format for the event. The "Friends of Founders Park" Board of Directors is excited about our fundraiser and feels confident the event will not pose safety problems to our patrons and our community. We look forward to having another successful event in 2021. Contributions and continued interest to help keep Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park a great public space is very much appreciated.
