EVENT ENDS

(Times subject to change as necessary)

It is great to see that there will be balloons over Anderson once again! Again, you can find out more about the festival by visiting their website.

I read this article and have to say I was glad to hear that the Pendleton Planning Commission and town planner have been working with businesses to draft regulations related to the square. If you have never had the pleasure of visiting Pendleton and enjoying the charm of the historic Town Square, you really need to take the time to check it out.

Pendleton is a wonderful town with many historic buildings and a location that is convenient to Anderson and Clemson. It is only 30 miles from Greenville making it an ideal bedroom community for people wanting to live in a quiet small town but work in a large city.

Pendleton’s square has been on the National Register of Historic Places since the 1970s. It is known for its collection of antique shops, and I have been lucky so far to avoid an expensive trip to these shops with my wife. There are many other types of businesses in Pendleton’s Historic District such as restaurants, lawyer’s office, a bridal dress shop and more.

It really is great to see a town, the citizens and the town’s government working together to not just preserve but ensure the vitality of its crowning jewel. If you would like to find out about real estate for sale in Pendleton or the surrounding area please feel free to contact me

Wren High School named Champion of the Environment

Wren High School in Piedmont has won a Champions of the Environment grant from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control for efforts to spread the word about water pollution prevention.

The Anderson District One school’s project involves almost a quarter of the student body. It includes water quality testing, researching water pollution causes, writing and illustrating water quality messages, and translating pollution prevention messages into other languages spoken in the community.

Wren High will get a $2,000 cash grant. The school also receives Champions give-away items, will be featured on the Champions’ Web site, and will have its project publicized in a commercial aired on WIS-TV in Columbia and WCSC-TV in Charleston.

Champions of the Environment supports environmental action by South Carolina’s kindergarten through 12th grade students with its grant awards.
