A Note from the CVB

Pickin' in the Panhandle was held last weekend and it ended up being a perfect weather weekend.  Over the course of three days, we had over 9,000 people at the festival.  Many of these people were from out of state, which means we're achieving our goal of bringing visitors into Berkeley County.  

 

A huge thank you to those who weren't afraid to get a little mud on their boots and came our for great music, delicious food, and lots of fun.  We would also like to extend our deepest appreciation to our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, BBQ teams, judges and others who helped make this event possible.
