I had the pleasure of meeting with Holly Ridge Mayor Pete Parnian to discuss the priorities and needs of the community.

We also discussed the Community Project Funding I secured for Holly Ridge to support important local needs and make an investment in the community.

Local leaders have a firsthand understanding of what their communities need, and conversations like these are important to making sure Eastern North Carolina has a strong voice in Washington.

I appreciate Mayor Parnian taking the time to meet with me and share his perspective. I look forward to continuing to work together to support Holly Ridge and deliver results for communities across our district.

We’re excited to introduce Sew-Bee-It, the bee statue bringing a little extra color, creativity, and hometown charm to our community!

Making this new addition even more special are the honeycomb-shaped flowerbeds, designed and constructed as a Scout service project by Owen Blanchard, 16, of Scout Troop 937.

A special thank you to the businesses and individuals who generously supported the project:

🌼Guy C. Lee Building Materials – donated the wood and beams
🌼 Atlantic Mulch & Stone – donated the soil
🌼Pender Pines Garden Center – donated the flowers
🌼Community donors – provided additional support for screws and refreshments for the project work crew

📸 Take a moment to stop by to see Sew Bee It and the new honeycomb flowerbeds in person! Located at the corner of N. Dyson and Sound Road.

Thank you for helping Holly Ridge continue to grow and bloom! 🐝🌼
