Beach-n-Bling staffed a kids' activity table loaded with beads donated by members of the community and helped kids design and create their own bracelets or necklaces. Once the day got rolling, kids were constantly at the table making jewelry until it was time to pack up and make room for the evening's events.
Beach-n-Bling owner /operator, Teresa Falkenberg is a Forks, WA resident and a member of the Rainforest Council for the Arts and Far West Art League.
