Save the Fish: Fall Dinner Fundraiser

Save the Fish: Fall Dinner Fundraiser

We’d like to invite our friends, community members, and supporters to our fall fundraiser at Ijams Nature Center on October 15th!

TICKETS AND DETAILED INFORMATION ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH EVENTBRITE.

 

Join Us!

Join Conservation Fisheries, Inc. for a magical evening at Ijams Nature Center to celebrate our first annual Fall Dinner! Hosted by Knoxville's own Erin Donovan, we’ll be highlighting local conservation successes and jamming to live music by Grammy-nominated Appalachian musician Daniel Kimbro, and Josh Oliver and Clint Mullican of Watchhouse (formerly Mandolin Orange). A live-fire dinner from Knoxville’s treasured Tootsie Co. will be provided along with libations by Albright Grove Brewing Co., PostModern Spirits, and Lipman Brothers. Our Silent Auction will feature amazing art and experiences from the likes of photographer Joel Sartore, Little River Watershed Association, author Richard Powers, Bush’s Best, and more!

Feeling adventurous in the afternoon? Hop in a kayak with CFI hosts & Tennessee RiverLine guides to float down the Holston river and soak up that October sun! Learn some cool fish facts, chat with other nature-minded folks, and float the river down to Ijams Nature Center. You’ll dock with plenty of time to arrive at the Cocktail Hour, kicking off our Fall Dinner. BYO boat or we’ll set you up with one thanks to Tennessee RiverLine and Knoxville Adventure Collective! All kayakers will be provided a shuttle. See our Eventbrite page for details!
