According to Co-chairman Gay Atkins, one of the festival's draws is its array of games for individuals and teams/families. Sand sculpture and horseshoe pitching draw com petitors back year after year, and two newer events, volleyball and kite flying are beginning to estab lish their own traditions as well. The fun begins Friday night with a costume contest as part of the haunted house and Halloween Carnival at Tri-Beach Volunteer Fire Department. It continues through the day Saturday and Sun day afternoon with a parade along the Holden Beach causeway, local entertainers on stage, and games, games, games. While its food vendors and road race are popular, the test's arts and crafts show is perhaps the biggest draw, with its reputation among crafters as drawing serious shop pers, not just lookers, and its repu tation among shoppers for offering good quality handmade items at af fordable prices. This year more than 200 handi crafters and artists from all points on the map want spots at Jordan Avenue.
