Sponsor Plows Profits Sincc its inception in 1980, the N.C. Festival By The Sea has offered visitors, property own ers and residents a weekend of fam ily-oriented fun and games, while raising funds for worthwhile local projects. Any profits realized by the festi val are poured by the Holdcn Beach Merchants Association back into the community, says Johnny Craig, association president. Other officers include secretary and treasurer Barbara and Jim Low Back Into Hoi " We've got a pretty big and expensive project going to beautify the causeway ? Johnny Craig, President Greater Holden Beach Merchants Association ell and vicc president Ben Tonking. Traditionally, half of any festival proceeds arc divided between two emergency units that serve the wider Holdcn Beach community: CoasUine Volunteer Rescue Squad and Tri-Bcach Volunteer Fire Department, host of the annual fes tival Halloween carnival. The balance is kept by the associ ation, mainly going toward two long-term projects: beautilication ? ftSM Ovstcr "Bay J?> n^fir r jL~> Go(f Linfe .surisit iU'Uili, \oitfi (."iiroliini One of the Top 50 Best Public Golf Courses in America and chosen the Best New Course in 1983 by Golf Digest Forstarting times phone: (919)579-3528, (803)272-6399 or Toll Free (800)552-2660 Office: Post Office Box 2038, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29578 Larry and Judy Young Owners & Operators Jeff Hazle Head Pro den Beach Community and travel and tourism promotion. "We've got a pretty big and ex pensive project going to beautify the causeway," he said. "It's about the biggest project we've ever tack led. It's been in the planning about a year." While work has slacked off to al low planning of the festival, Craig cxpccts the pace to pick up again this winter, when the festival and the main summer tourist season be come history. The master plan for the causeway includes decorative lighting and walkways and bike paths along both sides of the highway, and eventual ly, underground utilities. The asso ciation plans to start with the light ing part of the proposal. Plans call for approximately a dozen decorative overhead lights along the causeway, which is nearly a mile in length. Pedestrian walk ways and paths would be placed as far from the center of the highway as possible while still in the state's right of way, to allow for future widening of the road. Craig said causeway merchants contacted so far have responded to the plan with enthusiasm. "We want to give the causeway a quaint atmosphere that gives you a warm feeling about Holden Beach. We really want to have a good en trance to the beach. That's one area that has been overlooked perhaps in the past," he said. The Holden Beach Beautification Committee has done "a super job" on the island, he said, and the asso ciation would like to do the same on the mainland. "I think it's something that's real ly going to look good and will give people a good feeling about the area," said Craig. Also in the works is a brochure promoting Holden Beach. The asso ciation belongs to the South Brunswick Islands Chamber of Commerce, "which does a good job" of promoting the area, said Craig, but Holden Beach wants to expand on that. To that end the association has applied for a grant from the state's Division of Travel and Tourism to help cover the costs of the brochure. It would be the first for the beach in about five years, and would be dis tributed through local businesses, welcome centers and other outlets, said Craig.
