Wow, look around at all the new sponsors! These kind sponsors make it possible for me to keep writing the Flossip so please show them some love.

Flossip is also part of a “Blog Carnival” which highlights Pee Dee Bloggers. This months host is “Country Fried Rock.”

Hope Health is a new sponsor and they have a lot of exciting events coming up! You will see that there is a link to the Health and Harmony Festival as well as their wine tasting. Both are great events! If you want a more intimate way to meet people in the community I recommend the wine tasting.

Palmetto First Federal Credit Union had a soft opening for their second branch recently and is having a huge grand opening celebration at the end of the month. I will post more about this later. Palmetto First has been in Florence since 1954. They are getting involved in the community in a big way right now. I also saw that they are going to be underwriters for Crossing Delancy at the Florence Little Theater. (Speaking of which, the Theater has a nice new website. I have long lamented about their website, so this is great news!)

Don’t forget to look to sponsor United Marketing for all of your marketing needs. I just talked to them about possibly doing some Flossip hats… you know you want one! Facebook fans of United Marketing get 10% off their order.

Thanks for reading and for supporting the sponsors that keep me going!

Down the Road a bit…

by The Flossip on August 31, 2010

in Pee Dee Living

Apparently Lake City is the place to be September 16 – September 19. There will be two great festivals in one: South Carolina Tobacco Festival and the Heritage Music and Arts Festival. There is a website with a lot of information here.

Three great days of music start on Thursday, September 16th at 8PM with gospel performances by Crystal River, Eric Taylor and The Plantation Singers. On Friday, September 17th, the Band of Oz take to the stage with a Beach Music street dance. Then, on Saturday, September 18th, the music starts at 1PM and will feature Ten Toes Up, The Movement, Randy McCallister, The Plaids, and Jeffrey Allen Edwardsleading up to a special performance by Uncle Kracker at 8PM. A spectacular fireworks show will immediately follow Uncle Kracker’s performance. For tickets to Saturday’s event click here or visit the National Bean Market Museum Gift Shop or Lake City Chamber of Commerce.

Did you read that carefully? Uncle Kracker? Way to go Lake City! This sounds like it is well worth the drive down 52. Saturday’s tickets are $15.00 and you can purchase them online here.
