"Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another."
- Anatole France, The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard |
In these dog days of summer, when so many resort to sweet tea and back porch shade to keep c ool, the Hartsville Chamber is anything but relaxed. Rather, the Chamber is hard at work planning our popular and exciting fall events - Big Thursday Tailgate, The Women in Business Celebration, and The Community Golf Classic! With just a few short weeks between events, there is a lot of work to be done, and tragically few moments of quiet contemplation. Of course, the Chamber is not the only team that is spending hot summer days planning cool autumn events; Coker, Florence-Darlington Tech, and all the primary and secondary schools in the area are buzzing with activity. Yes, educators do work during the summer, planning new programs, improving existing courses, and reading up on the latest advancements in science and technology - not exactly a summer vacation! Others, too, are choosing to forgo the allure of the beach in favor of keeping noses to grindstones. Hartsville's businesses are constantly working to enhance customer experiences and generate local buzz. Several exciting ribbon cuttings and grand openings are slated for later this summer and fall.
In fact, looking around Hartsville, it does not seem that anybody is 'taking it easy'! Where did this perception of relaxed Southern summers come from, anyway? With so much going on, be sure to read the Chamber Connection regularly to stay informed about what is new and exciting in Hartsville!
