The Lodge at Truitt Homestead hosted Beef, Beer & Beebe Sep. 23, when food, libations, auctions and live entertainment raised funds in support of Beebe Healthcare.

The event included a gourmet surf-and-turf barbecue buffet, an oyster-shucking station and a premium bar with a welcome flight of craft beer for all attendees.

All profits from ticket sales and fundraising fun during the event support Beebe Healthcare. Activities included a live auction by Butch Emmert of Emmert Auctions, chance auction, silent auction, 50/50 raffle and bottle pull.

“This is an incredible event we’re delighted to host for the first time at Truitt Homestead,” said Cheryl Evans, The Lodge at Truitt Homestead executive director. “We are honored to support them.”
