Good morning, Florence.

Local businesses in Florence are bracing for increased traffic — the CCMF festival will begin Thursday as organizers expect a large crowd and advise drivers to plan ahead.

Lake City's ArtFields project is on display at the Kennedy Center until Labor Day, where over 250,000 fabric scrolls, including local contributions (from Pee Dee), tell stories from across the nation as part of the National Scrollathon.

Memorial Stadium, once home to high school football, now hosts events (from youth activities to adult festivals) while city and county officials plan an ordinance that may dissolve the current governing commission.

If passed, control will revert to the city and allow new uses to be explored.

Florence resident Rosalind Davis, diagnosed with lupus years ago, shares daily acts of kindness by helping neighbors and educating the community; she was honored during Lupus Awareness Month and attended an awareness event at Judea Church.
