A highlight of the event: Spectrum’s $25,000 donation through their Community Center Assist program, supporting career training and opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Laurens County.

🇺🇸🐶 Our Veterans Day Dog Walk is almost here!

This Tuesday, November 11, we’re inviting everyone to come walk a shelter dog — as a veteran or in honor of a veteran you love. ❤️

It’s a simple act of gratitude that means so much. A few minutes of your time gives our dogs fresh air, comfort, and joy — and honors the brave men and women who’ve served our country.

You can walk a shelter dog as a veteran or walk in honor of a veteran who’s made an impact in your life.

📍 Laurens County Sheriff’s Animal Shelter
🕓 Walks available throughout the day

Let’s make this Veterans Day one to remember — full of love, gratitude, and wagging tails! 🇺🇸🐕💛

What better coaching job has been done in American college football this season than the one by Presbyterian College Head Coach Steve Englehart? Go ahead — we’ll wait.

From a program once mired in chaos and gimmicks to a 7-1 record and an 11-game winning streak, Englehart has led the Blue Hose back to respect, pride, and relevance. 💙🏈

He stepped into a program that had lost scholarships, players, and direction — and built it back the right way: with discipline, leadership, and belief.

Now, the Blue Hose are one of the best stories in college football. Two big games remain — Nov. 1 vs. Valpo and Nov. 22 vs. Marist (Senior Day) — both at Bailey Memorial Stadium.

Come see this team in action and witness what’s happening right here in Laurens County. You’ll leave proud to say you were there.
