Happy Thursday, Holy City. For all those who love the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, also known as SEWE, you’ll be happy to hear that the organization is hosting a new fall event, Flyways, this weekend. If this isn’t your first time hearing about Flyways, consider this is your friendly reminder.

Expect bites from Lowcountry Oyster Company and Martin’s BBQ, an unveiling of next year’s featured painting, and live music from Momentum Party Band. Ticket sales end Saturday afternoon (if they’re still available), so grab ‘em while you can.
