Taste of the Keys and Fashion Show

The Longboat Key Garden Club’s annual Taste of the Keys and Fashion Show will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27, at the Longboat Key Club’s Harbourside Dining Room, 3110 Harbourside Drive. Local restaurants will sample their food, and the fashion show will feature clothing from J.McLaughlin. Tickets are $50. Contact Phyllis Black, 383-2567 or [email protected], or email Lyn Haycock, [email protected].

The Longboat Key Garden Club hosted a Sip & Shop event Jan. 14, at J.McLaughlin.

Guests drank wine and snacked on macaroons while shopping, and 15% of the event’s proceeds went back to the Garden Club.

“We believe in supporting the community, and the Garden Club is part of the community,” J.McLaughlin Manager Carter Donovan said. “They’ve been terrific supporting us, so we’re just happy to support them.”
