Thanks to you—Stay Wild 2026 was a success!

On July 25th, over 300 supporters joined us to celebrate our community and the Chattooga River at Chattooga Belle Farm in Long Creek, SC. The stormy weather cleared up just in time for everyone to enjoy the stunning grounds and views while music by Steady Hand String Band and Prince Toad drifted through the valley.

We thoroughly enjoyed Chef Amanda Callahan’s farm-to-table dinner and dessert along with drinks provided by Reid Farmstead, Carolina Bauernhaus, Jocassee Valley Brewing Company, Golden Grove Farm & Brew, and Appellation Wine. With 59 silent auction items, 20 raffle items, and plenty of t-shirt and sticker options, there were so many opportunities to support protecting the beautiful Chattooga River and its watershed. We hope everyone ended up with something good!

We want to say THANK YOU to the individuals who stepped up to financially sponsor the event, the many businesses who donated items and supplies, the volunteers who gave their time, and everyone who joined us for an amazing evening in joyful community. It truly takes a village, and we are so grateful for your support. To see a full listing of the awesome businesses and individuals who made this event happen, check out our event website page.

We’ll do this again, but until then—Stay Wild!
