After that incident, a group of Evans County citizens gathered to decide what could be done to prevent further tragedies with poisonous snakes, and the Evans County Wildlife Club was born. A related arts and crafts exhibit has grown to such an extent that it occupies two large tobacco warehouses in downtown Claxton. Attendance is estimated at 25,000 people, and continuous live entertainment and plan-ned events keeps people coming back year after year.
