The Inn at Tabbs Creek, Port Haywood, is participating in a nationwide "B&Bs for Vets" thank-you giveaway, sponsored by the Professional Association of Innkeepers International and their "Better Way to Stay" program.

The reception will include a sampling of local oysters donated by Trey Sowers from Chapel Creek Oyster Company. Sullivan’s Pond Farm of Wake will be donating handmade cheese.
