Gorgeous Hats!
The Holden Beach Beautification Club met on Wednesday, February 13th. The program was presented by Jan Wutkowski and was entitled “Tips and Techniques for Choosing a Flattering Hat.” Club members got to model her beautiful creations, some of which will be sold at this year’s Kentucky Derby. Everyone left with new knowledge about how to chose the proper hat for any occasion.
Hostesses for February HBBC Meeting were Ann Landis (chair), Judy Brock, Peggy Schiavone, and Carol Gardner.

November Yard of the Month
The Holden Beach Beautification Club has chosen Hilda and Cartland Allen’s yard on Yacht Watch for the November yard of the month. The yard is planted with numerous pink muhly grasses that are in full bloom now. They have other bushes and many palms trees planted in the front and back yards. Their grandson, Chase Richards is pictured among the grasses. Congratulations to the Allens!
Festival by the Sea
The Holden Beach Beautification Club will be sponsoring a booth at Festival by the Sea this weekend, October 27-28, featuring the skills of the very talented HBBC Art Committee Ladies. They have worked all summer on fun items to add to your yard or give as gifts. Watch for Snowmen to brighten your yard this winter, coastal Lighthouses for your deck, porch or garden, hypertufa leaves that can be used as bird baths or shallow planters, and our ever-popular mushrooms!
We also have the garden gloves that everyone raves about in all sizes – perfect for getting your fall garden set for the winter months!
New this year, we will be taking credit cards as well as cash!
Best of all, all proceeds from our booth go to fund the club and our mission to beautify the public garden areas of Holden Beach.
