SEWE, to me, is indeed a celebration of the time we spend in the outdoors as hunters, conservationists and spectators. The three-day event draws people from around the globe of varied walks of life, interests and motivations. Growing from approximately 100 exhibitors and 5,000 attendees in 1983, to present day with over 500 artists, sculptors, exhibitors, craftsmen and 40,000 attendees, SEWE is now among the largest and most prestigious events of its type in the United States, and the cultural and economic impact to the Palmetto State and Charleston area is second to none. Strolling from venue to venue, one can find a wide variety of attractions. Whether you are looking to renew your membership with the conservation group of your choice and learn more about their mission or attend a seminar to learn about wildlife habitat, how to properly throw a cast net or even techniques for rattling in that elusive 10-point buck during the rut, SEWE fits the bill. And no visit to SEWE would be complete without a visit to the merchant’s village tent at the Brittlebank Park venue, followed by some delicious Lowcountry fare at the food court, accompanied by live bluegrass music playing in the background. Most hunting seasons in South Carolina have concluded by the time SEWE rolls around in February each year. So, as an avid outdoorsman, it is the perfect time and venue to relax, regroup and reflect on the past season, while making preparations for the next. It’s also the perfect time to visit with old and new friends and share the stories and exploits of recent adventures and those that are yet to come. It is the ideal time to engage in the beauty of the outdoors in a short period of time, all with great ease and enjoyment. Regardless of your outdoor experience, or level of interest, the upcoming Southeastern Wildlife Exposition on Feb. 15, 16, and 17 should be marked on your calendar.
