Pumpkins & Primrose Sweeten Sunday at The Henderson
Attendees ‘harvest’ fabulous finds, delicious treats and family fun at this fall fete
How sweet it is. The Henderson, a Salamander Resort, hosted Pumpkins and Primrose, the third Sweet Sunday event anchored by The Honey Hutch.
The event drew more than 1,000 locals and visitors to the resort to celebrate the flavors of fall, shop local artisans, and most importantly, raise a total of $4,000 for The Sonder Project.
Guests gathered on the Grand Lawn of The Henderson, where they were greeted by festive balloon décor, and handed a complimentary shopper tote to use while shopping the multitude of local vendors selling their wares. Event goers made their way around the market sampling fall-themed bites and shopping the latest in fall trends.
