HOLLY DAYS<br />
FESTIVAL OF GIFTS<br />
Holly Days Festival of Gifts began in<br />
1985 as a craft show that was held<br />
each year at the Camden County High<br />
School and was hosted by the Camden<br />
Jr. Woman’s Club. The show at that time<br />
hosted approximately 35 exhibitors of<br />
homemade crafts and simple concessions<br />
of hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. provided by<br />
the club.<br />
Santa on Sunday from 12-3<br />
Selfies available for a donation to the club<br />
Over the years Holly Days has moved<br />
to the Camden Intermediate School and<br />
grown to over 70 booths that include direct<br />
sales along with the crafts. Scentsy, Tupperware,<br />
Norwex, Lularoe, Pampered Chef,<br />
and custom monogramming are just some<br />
of the direct sale additions. The Camden<br />
Jr. Woman’s Club also “grew up” to become<br />
the Camden Woman’s Club, Inc.<br />
Ebenezer Baptist Church from South<br />
Mills has been providing the concessions<br />
for Holly Days for several years. Fried<br />
chicken, chicken pot pie, Brunswick stew,<br />
turkey and dressing, homemade soups and<br />
desserts are on the menu. Some visitors<br />
come to Holly Days just for the delicious<br />
foods available.<br />
Swimme & Son is the event sponsor for<br />
this year’s show. “Selfies with Santa” will be<br />
offered in their booth on Sunday from 12-3.<br />
Kids and “Kids at heart” will be able to talk<br />
to Santa and take a selfie with him for a<br />
donation to the club.<br />
This is the largest annual fundraiser for<br />
the club. Proceeds provide scholarships<br />
for high school seniors, school grants, and<br />
contributions to other local, state, national<br />
and international charities including <strong>Albemarle</strong><br />
Hopeline, Operation Smile and the<br />
Ronald McDonald House.<br />
This year’s Holly Days Festival of Gifts will<br />
be held on November 3rd from 10 am – 5<br />
pm and Sunday November 4th from 11<br />
am – 4 pm. Admission is $4.00 for Adults<br />
($3.00 with a canned food donation), $2.00<br />
for Seniors & Students. Children under 5<br />
are free.<br />
“Production is profit; and<br />
profit is production. They<br />
are not merely related;<br />
they are the same thing.<br />
When a man plants<br />
potatoes, if he does not<br />
get back more than he<br />
put in, he has produced<br />
nothing.”<br />
― Isabel Paterson, The<br />
God of the Machine<br />
