Celebrate “America 250—Then to Now” with a BBQ buffet dinner and an evening of fun. Enjoy tables decorated with member-created centerpieces inspired by American history, then vote for the best design. Dress is business casual, or wear a period costume and enter the best-attire contest. Browse a variety of Silent Auction items, capture memories in the photo booth, and dance the night away with John Franklin, an accomplished vocalist and pianist whose music spans beach, soul, R&B, jazz, blues, country, and classic rock. John has performed and recorded with The Breeze, Band of Oz, and others, and was inducted into the Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame in 2019. There’s something for everyone—so wear your dancing shoes!
