Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival

The Exchange Club has par­tic­i­pat­ed in the Great Ogeechee Seafood Fes­ti­val each year since it began in 1998. The club also par­tic­i­pat­ed annu­al­ly in the orig­i­nal Rich­mond Hill Seafood Fes­ti­val, which ran from 1985 to 1989.

Oper­at­ing a food booth each Octo­ber in the Seafood Fes­ti­val is our pri­ma­ry source of funds to run our var­i­ous com­mu­ni­ty ser­vice projects, and it’s also a fun time for all mem­bers who par­tic­i­pate.

Over the first sev­er­al years we served Shrimp Gravy, which was always a big hit. Begin­ning in 2003, we have served Jam­bal­aya and Crab Stew, both of which have been crowd favorites.

Thanks to all the hard work of our mem­bers and friends, each year has turned out to be anoth­er suc­cess­ful event for our club.

See You at the 26th Annual Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival! October 2024 at J.F. Gregory Park, 520 Cedar Street, Richmond Hill, GA

JOIN US!

We meet from noon–1PM on the 2nd and 4th Wednes­day of each month at the Rich­mond Hill City Cen­ter. Vis­i­tors and prospec­tive new mem­bers are always wel­come.

Mem­ber­ship is a great way to get involved in mak­ing Bryan Coun­ty a bet­ter place to live, stay up to date on cur­rent area events, net­work with oth­ers of sim­i­lar inter­ests, and devel­op your own lead­er­ship skills.

Help us make a dif­fer­ence with fundrais­ing, too. Here’s just a few things we do:

  • Annu­al School Cal­en­dar
  • Casi­no Night to Pre­vent Child Abuse
  • Pin­wheel and CAP Pin Sales

Our oper­at­ing expens­es are paid by mem­ber dues, so all net pro­ceeds from fundrais­ing events go to sup­port var­i­ous com­mu­ni­ty projects. Dues are cur­rent­ly $100 per quar­ter, one of the best bar­gains avail­able among all civic and ser­vice orga­ni­za­tions. Learn more about the ben­e­fits:
