Spring Fever!!

We had a fabulous Spring Weekend!!  We stayed outdoors!  I can’t wait for more!   We were so busy enjoying the weather and festivities, I barely had a chance to take photos!  I did manage to snap a couple at the Hartsville Downtown Marketplace.  Okay, so here is my Hartsville Plug, Mel…  On the first weekend of the month,  mostly local and some out of town vendors set up a marketplace right down town on Cargill Way.  It features booths from restaurants and caterers, jewelry and clothing stores, woodwork and crafts, tons of art exhibits/ sales, etc.  Coker College, Black Creek Arts Council and other local “gems” have booths as well.  (THA also hosted a booth!!)  We even have two farms that come out and offer fresh produce and supplies.   The Marketplace has even been paired with a chili cookoff, community concerts, etc..  It is really a fantastic event and one of the many, many reasons why I love living in Hartsville.

Here are those snap shots of the girls with a couple of pals…

Burry Park is just behind the girls, which is where Mel’s Christmas tree was located this past December.  The Marketplace extended into the park as well.  Dick Puffer also blogged about the Marketplace this weekend, and has a quick video of McCanless, and several other Hartsville kiddos playing.

What a wonderful thing for Hartsville! I would love to live closer so I could go to these fun events and shop at the wonderful stores with you! Have any need for a director of sales or instructional designer in Hartsville? 😉
