Holder) Beach Combines 25th Anniversary With Seaside Festival There's extra reason to celebrate down "by the sea" in Holden Beach this year. Aside from?4he usual frenzy of delight over all the beach has to of fer, there is the additional com memoration of the town's 25th birthday. Festival By the Sea, scheduled for October 28-30, takes note of this event on its annual T-shirts and sweatshirts. A hulking loggerhead turtle, one of Holden Beach's prized and protected creatures, is pictured with a seal proclaiming "25th" alongside it. T-shirts are selling for $10, sweatshirts for $18. Jim Lowell, festival chairperson, said the first concern of planners is, "We're praying it doesn't rain." However, in the approximate 13 years of Festival by the Sea, Lowell Sc.:d it's rained only once. The same "menu of arts and crafts, international foods, enter tainment and parade will be served this year, beginning on Friday night with the kid-pleasing costume con test and carnival. This nod to Halloween is held at the Tri-Beach Fire Department on the mainland, accompanied by the sale of hot dogs, "with everything under the sun," according to Lowell. "We'll have apple-dunking that night and even 'person-dunking," he said. Saturday's festivities begin early with IK, 5K and 10K runs, begin ning at the beach fire station. A pa rade will be held on the causeway at 10 a.m., when all other activities will be underway. Sand sculptures will be in pro gress on the strand near the camp ground, as will kite-flying and a fierce horseshoe tournament, all open to the public. The arts and crafts assembled un der the bridge are perhaps the most popular feature, Lowell said. "Even during that rainy festival, people swarmed over this area and bought a lot," he said. "This is the time so many people come from every where to do their Christmas shop ping." He anticipated 150 crafters and 20 food vendors for this year's event, witlf food representing every part of the world. Festival by the Sea attracted 18,000 people in 1992 and Lowell said that number may be exceeded this year. Last year saw the event's first wash-out, with torrential rains on Saturday and a cold north wind on Sunday, so faithful festival-go ers are really loooking forward to '94!
