SEWE: Cocktails and Conservation 2025

During the 2025 Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, Garden & Gun hosted guests at the magazine’s Cigar Factory headquarters for two conversations. On Saturday, G&G editor in chief David DiBenedetto spoke with artist and fisherman Paul Puckett. On Sunday, Ducks Unlimited chief conservation officer Karen Waldrop joined G&G contributing editor T. Edward Nickens. 

Throughout the event, attendees sampled culinary offerings in the Sevierville Lounge from Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant, enjoyed Shine Girl cocktails, and browsed the Fieldshop by Garden & Gun pop-up.
