ETV Roadshow Comes to Town
It has been a busy weekend! Yesterday it was Terrier Tales at Wofford (see previous post), and today it was the ETV Roadshow.
The Roadshow visits towns in South Carolina, and provides communities an opportunity to show off what makes their town special. The Library partnered with the Roadshow which gave us a chance to show off the Library and the resources we have available to the community. Piggley Winks From “Jakers! The Adventures Of Piggley Winks”spent the day at the Library visiting with children and families.
Interviews were held with people from the community while Piggley Winks was at the Library. The interviews were about 3-4 minutes long and interviews included Paul Riddle (Marshall Tucker Band), Mayor Bill Barnet, Mary Thomas (County Foundation), John Bryan (Assault on Mount Mitchell), Willie Korn (Byrnes High School quarterback) , Betsy Teter (Hub City Writers Project), Harold Mitchell (SC House), and many, many more.

My interview was held just feet from the first library in Spartanburg where Extended Stay HQ's now stands. I discussed local history resources and Jamboread! For the Roadshow's schedule and for more information you may visit the ETV/Roadshow website.

I missed it. Did anyone tape it?
Westside and Middle Tyger also had
Piggley Winks From “Jakers! The Adventures Of Piggley Winks” come visit their branches. Syretta (TYG) and Betsy (WES) said the people from ETV were very friendly and great to work with. Both locations had around 60-70 kids come to the meet-n-greet. A very successful program!
