Holiday Craft Party    December 1st
The annual Children’s Holiday Craft Party is staying home again this year. The RBCA with the support of the Mouttle family has made a special craft kit to keep the party tradition alive. Or after December 1st and while supplies last, you can come to the Richmond Beach Library to pick up a “Richmond Beach Holiday Craft Kit.” Each kit has fun projects and treats for a child to create some of their own holiday fun.

Each kit has items for one child. So, pick up a kit for each child that wants to participate in this Holiday Craft experience. Here are the items in the kit:
  • An Elf Hat (a craft project) to get your little crafter in the spirit.
  • A Miniature Candy Cane for some holiday cheer.
  • A Winter Activity Booklet (48 pages of activities) to keep busy!
  • Holiday Crayons (4 colors) in case you needed more!
  • A Foam Ornament for your family home with room for a picture.
  • A Holiday Wreath and Bow (one strand of green pipe cleaner and a red Holly twist)

Finally, we invite you to write or decorate a Holiday Card for the residents at Richmond Beach Rehab Center. This has been a wonderful part of this Richmond Beach tradition. We ask the kids who participate to draw a fun picture that can be given to the Richmond Beach Rehab Center. So, you will see that on the back of the kit instructions there is a space for the kids to draw a picture and you can drop these off at Beach House Greetings at 626 NW Richmond Beach Road (near Starbucks and QFC) so that we can spread good cheer to the residents of the Richmond Beach Rehab Center.

Don’t forget you can always visit the RBCA’s YouTube channel RichmondBeachTV to watch the Holiday Craft Kit video from last year. It will also provide information on this year’s Holiday Craft Kit!

​Here’s one more reminder it’s time for Richmond Beach’s second-annual Holiday Decorating Contest. Entries have already begun rolling in, and December 12th is our deadline to nominate yourself and/or your neighbors. Make sure you’re unwrapping one of our world-famous RB Holiday Decorating Contest trophies this year!

Here’s how it works:
How to Enter:
Richmond Beach residents can nominate themselves and/or a neighbor by emailing the street address(es) and name(s) to ExecDirector@RichmondBeachWA.org by December 12th.

How to View:
All addresses entered will be put on the City of Shoreline’s Porch Light Parade map that folks can find here on the RBCA website starting December 13th. Judging happens on the night of December 18th, winners announced before December 24th.

Here are our four award categories:
  • “The Clark W. Griswold” – Is your house visible from outer space? Do your neighbors need to wear eye masks to bed? Is Innis Arden mad at you? This one is all about who has the most lights – GO BIG!
  • “The Window Wonderland” – Who has the most festive apartment, condo, or townhome windows? We’re looking for your best lights, crafts, scenes, and leg-lamps!
  • “The Silver Snowman” – Themes, characters, different types of holiday celebrations. Get creative!
  • “The Orca” – Bring the Northwest to the North Pole! This one is all about showing off your NW pride with sports teams, colleges, coffee, flannels and grunge music. 1 million bonus points to the first Santa in a Kraken jersey drinking Starbucks and singing “Smells Like Teen Spirit” while wearing socks with sandals as he’s pulled by a team of orcas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Mariners Moose.

Entries will be judged on theme-related showmanship (the “WOW!” factor), coverage (how well your window/home/yard are covered), and aesthetics (display organization and attention to detail).

Winners of each category will get 12 months of bragging rights, a priceless trophy, a photo of their display on the RBCA website, and $50 in gift cards to our fantastic local businesses.

Get creative, encourage your neighbors to join, and HAVE FUN!
