TR High School students win film contest.
On March 18 our very own Devildogs won first place in the first ever Greenville County Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws student film competition. The contest featured films created entirely by Greenville youth to bring awareness to the consequences of underage drinking. Local schools showcased their talent and competed for awards and prizes and nineteen students from TRHS, under the direction of teacher Loyd Henderson, won first place producing the "best overall film".
The film can be viewed on the Greenville Family Partnership's Web site here (in the box on the upper right corner).
Please join us in congratulating these proactive teens for their excellent work!
Downtown revitalization is nearing completion.
The City of Travelers Rest is nearing completion of our "downtown revitalization project. While the weather has caused delays in completion, we are pleased to report that we have maintained our initial budget for the project. This project was not funded with property taxes. It has been paid for through grants and our Local Hospitality Tax, which can only be spent on tourism related efforts.
The efforts the city has made to improve downtown will result in more business opportunities. The goal is to attract people to Travelers Rest with our shops, restaurants and other businesses, and to enhance the business climate on Highway 276. We believe that these changes, along with the Swamp Rabbit Trail, will do just that.
