The beloved South Carolina Strawberry Festival met a sour end this year, forced to cancel due to the threat of thunderstorms. This is the first time in the festival’s 15-year history that such a decision had to be made, leaving many local vendors facing a significant loss of revenue.
But true to form, the community isn’t letting the rain dampen their spirits. A Facebook page has been created to connect these impacted vendors with potential customers. Vendors are encouraged to share information about the products they had planned to sell at the festival, including descriptions and prices.
This is a great opportunity to discover hidden gems and support the backbone of our local economy – small businesses! So, head over to the Facebook page, find something that tickles your taste buds or catches your eye, and show these vendors that the community stands behind them. Let’s turn this rainy situation into a windfall for these hard-working entrepreneurs!
