Weekend Wednesdays

Since the middle of the week we are looking for relief from the mundane and every day stresses, I am launching this new column to focus on what is happening this weekend in the Upstate of SC, or in the surrounding areas. I hope you will join me for some ideas of things to do with your family this weekend.
