Small Town Events provide big city experience

Often I get accused of being a cheerleader for this great small town. It is an accusation I take as a praise. Hartsville is a small city but as I so often say, how many small Southern cities have thing to offer like you find here. Cases in point:

This past Sunday in Hartsville --

Triathlons sponsored and hosted by the Hartsville YMCA -- two at once so that both those who do them for real competition and those who do them for an experience can enjoy. Learn more on hartsvilletoday.com or at the Hartsville YMCA. Jana Longfellow, a REAL cheerleader for Hartsville has photos from the event.

Gospel in the Park on Sunday afternoon with lots of gospel groups. There are photos on Facebook from this event, which is another way for Hartsvillians and others to have a great time.

Coming up in Hartsville

Tuesday, September 8 -- Jack Riggs - novelist -- speaking and signing books with a free performance at 7 p.m. in Davidson Hall on the Coker College campus.

Piano Concert featuring Las Vegas Pianist David Osborne to benefit the Coker College Scholarship Fund and the Prestwood County Club Renovation Fund at the Watson Theater on the Coker College campus on Wednesday, September 16.

College Soccer, Hartsville men on September 12 as they try to extend their undefeated streak against Mt. Olive College.
