Rich weekend in this small community

Not much to write but it is important to make strong note of how much there is to do in this small city this weekend. Jana and others on Hartsville Today are calling it a Christmas Extravaganza and I can't imagine even big cities in our State have this much variety for an early December weekend.

For this community building or community thinking blog, the major point is that none of these things would happen without the active involvement of people who care. The consultants who helped us shape the message of the Selling Hartsville campaign that is now expressed in the words, "Expect Pleasant Surprises" commented on the embarrassment of riches in this town. One of the major treasures are those who continue to work so hard to make things happen. You can make your own list of names but Seth Godin, whose newest book is called TRIBES, would note that we are full of tribes who are being led by those who understand that the status quo just is not fun.
