We may have seen the last of the 100 degree days for this year, but do the "Rain Dance."  The temperatures are dropping but so is our beautiful Lake Greenwood.  We've got cracks in our yard that a puppy could get trapped in.

Schools are back in session and our families are having to settle into an, in some cases, unfamiliar routine; fighting for the bathroom with the kids early in the morning.  (I know that I found that it took my girls a whole lot of time in front of the mirror.)

  

Football games will be starting soon and we'll have those "Friday Night Lights." We'll also be taking trips to Clemson, Columbia and Charlotte and having Tailgate Parties.  Be sure to check out the Tailgate Specials offered by our local merchants.

Did you know that the EAST MAIN COFFEE COMPANY will be open this week?  We spoke with Rayne Adams and she's doing a few final "touch ups" and plans on opening Tuesday, the 23rd.   Coffee, sweets, smoothies, ice creams, etc.  Her hours will be 7:00 am - 7:00 pm Tuesday - Thursday and 7:00 am - 9:00 pm Friday and Saturday.  Rayne's going to Church on Sundays and rest on Mondays.

CATEECHEE FEST is this Saturday in the Ninety Six Town Park.  Celebrating our Native American Heritage.  Native music, dancing, drumming, flute, story telling, demonstrations, etc.  Also for the health enthusiasts a 1mile walk and a 9.6k run.  There will be the Bungee Trampoline, Food, Crafters and Indian jewelry all day!
