Welcome Center to celebrate traveling public

The South Carolina Welcome Center at Fair Play takes part next month in an annual event that offers a special welcome to visitors to the state.  Members of Oconee’s business community have an  invitation to display their wares by setting up tables at the I-85 welcome center.  Dawn Smith, welcome center director, says, “It is such a surprise to our guests pulling into our parking area to suddenly be welcomed with a celebration just for them,”  It’ll be a seven-day event, Sunday, May 19 thru Saturday, May 25.  Any food or beverage or other giveaways must be free.  Federal law forbids the sale of items on the property. To reserve space for a table or a tent, make contact by Monday, May 13.
