Celebrate Everything! with Pat Conroy
Celebrating the Beaufort International Film Festival with award-winning author Pat Conroy, Pat's wife author Cassandra King and Lowcountry Weekly editor Margaret Shinn Evans at a reception for Andie MacDowell and Pat Conroy on Friday, February 13, 2015 at the Cuthbert House Inn.
