From staff reports

Friends of Caroline is holding “Release & Remember, A Community Butterfly Release” at 11 a.m., Saturday, April 29, in Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort.

Purchase a butterfly for $12 and celebrate the memory of the ones we love as we release butterflies over the Beaufort River. Names will be placed on Memory Boards displayed at the event and on the Friends of Caroline website. Butterflies can be picked up at the event beginning at 10:30 a.m. The program will begin at 11 with a few words from Coordinator of Support Services Steve Scudder, a reading from Battery Creek High School junior Quinnie Clark and a musical performance by Elaine Lake.
