Well folks here is another festival my wife and i went to in June 2016 and we will be back again!…read moreWhy? Because it was super fun and not to big. It showcased how country folks enjoy the day and the harvesting of their crops. This festival is located in Trenton, SC, head north then turn left towards GA you'll see it on your right! When we arrived we found ample parking, We parked so close you could smell the peaches! The layout of the festival highlights the main stage on one side and the peaches for sale on the other , with vendors and craftsman all around. The food area was in the back. It was sponsored by "Billy's Super Store". I guess they wanted you to exercise as you go get a deep fried Oreo, or a Big Boy Cookie! Ok the Big Boy Cookies are amazing! They do deliver! We found a number of vendors selling homemade items we haven't seen elsewhere, for a good price.Good thing the car was parked close! Whether you love crafts, tractors (I do love tractors!) sweet looking cars, or delicious food, the Ridge Peach Festival has something for everyone, even my Yankee wife!. A Country Store featuring home canned peach preserves, jams, and jellies, along with peach desserts and ice cream are all waiting for you to eat and buy! And we did! The peaches were harvested that morning at Trenton farms down the road a piece and we were able to buy a large basket of peaches for only $10! and they were only three hours off the tree when we bought them! We went to one of the food vendors and i ordered a hot dog with everything with fries and my wife had the cheeseburger with everything. It was fun to watch them cook on the grill and talk to them. we found a table with a good view of the parade which was getting ready to start. Nothing makes a day better than eating good food and watching a country parade! Oh yes it was really a country parade, all with a band, firetrucks, cloggers, horses and bikers! Fun to watch as we devoured our lunch but we still had some room for the specialty of the fair, peach ice cream! Dear me the line was long for the ice cream but I must say it was worth it! So fresh and creamy. They had a really nice children's area sponsored by "Log Creek Timber and Ridge Parts and Supply" Did I mention we were in the country? Over all we really had a great time in this small town. I was told by one of the vendors this festival has been around since 1970 and they were expecting about 15,000 folks here! All I can say was when we were leaving there lines of cars down the road waiting to get in. I encourage everyone down here in the lowcountry to try some of the small town festival and be sure to eat a fried Oreo! By the way their porta a potties were super clean and nice smelling. In fact they had folks whose only job that day was to keep them clean! Now that's friendly!

Add to that a bartender that never forgets anything and awesome music...what more could you want. That's right, Thursday nights include an awesome open mic. Lots of local artists and some visitors (I met a performing couple from Virginia) show up to entertain us all. You're sure to hear songs that you know and love as some of the musicians play acoustically and some with driving electric tones. Don't forget to visit the restrooms upstairs. The men's room is interesting and quite tight but nicely appointed down to the guitar-shaped mirror. I hope to see you there!

In addition to stellar performances, the scene changes, from the home setting to the courtroom were a symphony of motion and deserving of applause in themselves. Owner Krys Bailey's introduction warning, that we may not be able to return to our seats easily if we needed to attend to a bodily call as we would be competing with cast members congregating in the lobby, was representative of the "down home" feel of Le Chat Noir. We have been long time subscription holders and have enjoyed and appreciated the play and musical selections, the set design, casting, the creative interpretation of the script and the intimate feeling of the theater. There is no poor seat. You will not be disappointed with a visit to le Chat Noir.

I appreciate the artists who take brush to canvas and other mediums to create something breathtaking and life giving. And pottery? Oh, that I am envious of. To take a lump of clay and make a bowl or plate or holiday tree. That is a gift. And one place to find this gift is at Tire City Potters. A mainstay and cornerstone of downtown for many years, you cannot fully anticipate what awaits upon your first visit. It is tucked away on the corner of 10th and Ellis Street. If you have any doubts you're in the right place, just look for the giant yellow square on the wall with a robot head and the word "HAPPY" underneath it. Then you're good. Though I am unsure of the number of mugs-etc. I have purchased from here, I will mention the latest one. It is a tea cup that is dual textured. The mix of colors with a smooth and grainy texture alone makes it beautiful. But to hold it and sip your evening tea, that is art coming to life. I am grateful for their presence, their passion, and their continued work downtown. Stop by and visit them soon.

Usually if it's nice out you will sit under a tent outside the bldg. if it's cold or rainy they will move you to the loft upstairs. You can BYOB. They also do private pottery lessons and sell items they make. I love their pirate mugs!!!

Not only do they have the sweetest animals, from donkeys and ducks to chickens and goats, but this family-owned and operated business is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the animals they care for. Their love and respect for what they do shines through in every interaction. My husband and I recently took our kids to a local fall festival where Elduets had their animal setup, and it was a highlight of the day! The staff were so patient and kind, answering every rapid-fire question my curious kids threw at them. My children absolutely adored feeding and petting the animals, and now I've been tasked by husband to convince my son that we do not need a donkey or chickens at home! Professionally, I've had the honor of booking Elduets for our nursing home's Fall Festival three years in a row, and it's always a heartwarming experience. Our residents light up when the animals arrive. This year was no different seeing someone recall memories from 60, 70, even 80 years ago while petting a goat or holding a chicken is truly a beautiful thing. The Elduets team goes above and beyond, making sure every resident has a chance to interact with the animals. If someone can't reach or see well, Robert and his family thoughtfully lift and position the animals for easier access, ensuring everyone is included. I would recommend Elduets Adventures & Events to absolutely anyone, families with inquisitive children, seniors who enjoy animal therapy, or anyone interested in learning more about farming, homesteading, and animal care. There truly aren't enough nice things to say about this local gem. Their kindness, professionalism, and passion make every event memorable.
