PICKENS, SC—WHERE I'LL BE SATURDAY
Join me this Saturday,
April 20, for an adventure— a visit to Pickens, SC for the Azalea Festival.
Booths with wares by artisans and artists (including writers like me) will line
both sides of Main Street, which will be closed to traffic. Other
entertainments throughout the day include a pet pageant (12 PM), magician (1 PM), bands and
music. Also amusement rides for the kids.
If you’re a history buff, these
nearby historic sites are up your alley:
* Hagood Mill, an 1845
gristmill at 138 Hagood Mill Rd., 10 AM – 4 PM, Parking $5
* Hagood-Mauldin House,
antebellum, at 104 N. Lewis St., 10 AM – 4 PM, $5
* Pickens County Museum at
307 Johnson St., 9 AM – 4:30 PM
I’m happy to be going to
Pickens for the first time. It is one of many small towns in SC that preserve our
heritage while adjusting to the 21st Century.
