Saturday, April 18th, from 11a – noon, Main Street, the Hartsville Chamber and Coker College will be giving a walking tour of our downtown to Coker College incoming freshman and their families. What can we do to welcome them? We are working on updating the Cobras Welcome Here program. Your input at tomorrow’s breakfast would be valued.

We have been awarded a Tourism Advertising matching grant, and will soon be running outdoor boards similar to these in outlying cities, like Marion and Pageland, to encourage day trippers and beach-going vacationers to come see all we have to offer!

The headline will change to “Explore” instead of “Shop,” to include all the great things going on in our downtown, but we thought you’d enjoy seeing what we are working on this week!

Many thanks to Tyler Senecal and LeftFoot Media for their great photography work, and also to our models who volunteered their time!

This Saturday! April 11th 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. 100 East Carolina Avenue

The new and improved Farmers Market starts this Saturday! And it is a “Sold Out” event (but we can always make room for more than 40! What a great problem to have!)
Space is always free for Main Street Partners, so just let us know if we need to reserve you a space! We would like to encourage everyone to have a sidewalk presence that day, as it will make the Farmers Market feel like a bigger event! Our barricade with street closure is only from City Hall down to the last pillar of the YMCA building, leaving the side parking lot at the Y open for guests, and leaving more parking available further down the street. Think how you would like to be a part of the excitement!

Many thanks to our Downtown Block Party sponsors, for being involved in organizing a great Spring celebration for all!
