The open house takes place at 21 Days Lane in Point Washington from 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Bogle specializes in techniques known as “en plein air,” which means “in the open air.”

Bogle's works will be on exhibit and available for purchase. Portions of the proceeds go to benefit Alaqua Animal Refuge, the area's no-kill facility founded in 2007 and located on a sprawling 10-acre farm in Freeport.

Supporting local charities is a passion of mine,” says Better Homes and Gardens Distinctive Homes Realtor, Randy Carroll. “Any time I can hold an open house or another event to be able to support our local community, it is an honor for me.”

Randy Carroll and his wife Beth are the founders of Easy on 30A, an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization located in WaterColor. Easy on 30A works with our local community, organizations, and artist of all kinds to raise funding for Walton and Okaloosa county charitable organizations. Easy on 30A has created a largely attended anchor event of multiple musicians performing in WaterColor’s Marina Park on July 3rd over the past 4 years.

This is not the only special open house Randy Carroll has held. In October 2015, he held a successful Open House in WaterColor exhibiting South Walton’s 2005 Artist of the Year, Justin Gaffrey, which benefitted the Food for Thought organization.
