For the past 31 years, the Grand Strand Shell club has provided a space for shell enthusiasts to gather and share their interests. The club is excited to spend the day talking about shells in the Wall Lowcountry Center Auditorium, with panelists Vanessa Marion, Carolyn Sandi, Maribeth Gearhardt and George Hummel speaking on the history of the club, our state shell and unique items that can be found on the beach. If you have any interesting shells, the club encourages you to bring them along for identification. Brookgreen Gardens, 1931 Brookgreen Dr. Friday, 10:30-11:30 a.m. Included with Garden Admission.
