Nineteen HBBC members enjoyed the December dinner and field trip to view Nights of a Thousand Candles at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, SC.

The gardens came to life amid the soft glow of more than 5,500 hand-lit candles and countless sparkling lights.  An 80-foot-tall fir tree decorated with 60,000 lights was dazzling.  Water features and pools filled with cranberries along with seasonal decor put everyone in the holiday spirit!
