Piedmont residents are invited to join local volunteer organizations Sunday, June 28 to celebrate Carolina Day, a day marking 250 years of Freedom.
The special event will be held from 2 -5 pm, at the new Piedmont Riverfront Park located at 550 River Road on the Saluda River.
Plans include a short program showcasing members of the Piedmont Community Choir and information presented from local volunteer groups.
There will be SWAG Bags for the kids with lots of treats. Snacks and drinks will be provided by local volunteer groups and churches.
While there, take time to walk the new nature trails and enjoy the view of the river.
“Round up your neighbors and organize a carpool as the parking is a bit limited,” a spokesperson said. “Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy Piedmont’s newest treasure.”
“We are asking area churches to join in on the celebration and Ring the Bells: 250/25! Yes, Two-Five- O-Two -Five! June 28,” organizers said. “We need you to ring your bells and chimes, 25 taps on the bells across Piedmont and all of Anderson County at 2:50 pm, one tap for each decade of ten years in Celebration of Carolina Day.”
