New Outreach director busy from startby Samantha Hurst
Carol Newton took on direction of a 20–year–old charitable organization when she began her new position as executive director of the Ther-mal Belt Ministry Organization Dec. 1.
Upon her arrival Newton needed to jump right in with the Angel Tree program already
moving in full force. This year, TBOM served 330-plus families.
“That really gave me a good opportunity to get a feel for how things work together; seeing families pick up gifts introduced me

Tryon holds line on last year’s budgetAudit reports fund balance up slightlyby Leah Justice
Tryon’s fund balance in-creased slightly last fiscal year although the town saw an over-all decrease in revenues.
Tryon also spent less overall during fiscal year 2009-2010 than in fiscal year 2008-2009.
Tryon Town Council re-viewed the audit for fiscal year 2009-10 Tuesday, Jan. 18. Roger Bowman of Bowman, Pegg & Starr, CPA, presented the audit report.
Bowman said the town’s unreserved fund balance (available for spending) was $252,393, or 16.76 percent of general fund expenditures. The previous year’s fund balance was $247,833, or approximately

Macon Bank to offer shares of common stock; Millard & Co. holds open house
Millard & Company invites the public to attend its grand opening celebration in the newly renovated former Tryon depot building on Wednesday, Jan. 26, from 4-6 p.m.
The festivities will include self-guided tours of the depot. The Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce will be on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be provided.
The depot, located at 22 Depot Street in Tryon and owned by the Town of Tryon, was originally constructed in 1906. A complete renovation of the building has just been completed.
One half of the building will serve as offices for Millard & Company. The other half of the building – the depot room – has been transformed into a venue for events. The firm will use the depot room for client and educational events. The room is also available to individuals and groups. Inquiries regarding depot room rental should be directed to Tabatha Cantrell at Millard & Company.
Mil lard & Company is a financial plan-ning and invest-ment advisor firm registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm was estab-lished in August of last year when Main Street Financial Group split off its investment advisory depart-ment into an independent firm under the leadership of Andy Mil-lard, CFP®.
***When Tim Thomas wanted a
new website design for his Tryon Realty website, www.timthomas.com, he turned to Turner HD Media.
Turner Media said the new site focuses on Thomas’s years of ex-perience, his knowledge of the real estate market and the fact that he represents people as an exclusive buyer agent, something unique in
this market.Thomas said a website is crucial
to his business.“I have had a website since the
early 1990s.” Thomas said. “I feel now, as I did then, that it is indis-pensable to my business. It lets people not only know who I am, but also allows them to search for prop-erties that are listed in our Multiple Listing Service and provides other important links relating to Tryon, Polk County in general and the en-tire region. It is the most important tool I have to allow potential clients to interview me without my even knowing about it.”
About the current real estate market, Thomas said, “The best time to buy is now. Since I became a realtor and broker in 1987, there has never been a market as in favor of the buyer as the market today.”
Tryon Realty is located at 75-A South Trade Street in Tryon. For more information, check www.timthomas.com or contact 828-817-1118 or timgthomas@wind-stream.net
Turner HD Media is found on-line at www.turnerhdmedia.com.
The company has opened a new studio and office at the Polk County Ag Center in
Mill Spring. For more information, call 828-595-0006
***As of Jan. 1, Accents on Main
has moved back to its original storefront at 114 E.Rutherford Street in downtown Landrum.
“We are restocking the store with new merchandise that is coming in daily after going to the Atlanta Market last week,” said Gail Granville, the store’s owner. “We have added new furniture lines, gourmet vinegar and oils, fine dips and dessert mixes.”
Accents on Main also offers design services and catering. Store hours are Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
***The board of directors of Ma-
con Bancorp has unanimously adopted a plan to convert the com-pany to stock ownership.
Shares of common stock will be offered to the following possible investors:
• Eligible depositors, as of Dec. 31, 2009, of Macon Bank, its subsidiary;
• Other depositors opening ac-counts after Dec. 31, 2009;
• The bank’s borrowers;• Residents of the communities
the bank serves;• The general public.The eligible depositors, other
depositors and borrowers of the bank will have subscription rights (in that order of priority) superior to non-customer residents of the bank’s communities and the gener-al public. It is currently anticipated that Macon Bancorp’s offering of stock will start in April 2011.
The purpose of the conversion is to raise additional capital to be invested in the bank. Bank officers said this will allow the bank to enhance the services it provides to its customers, have greater flexibility in structuring its opera-tions, support future growth in the bank’s communities, and consider expanding its operations into new markets.
The consummation of the con-

version is subject to:• Approval of the plan by the
members of Macon Bancorp by a majority vote;
• Receipt of all required regula-tory approvals;
• Receipt of favorable tax opin-ions; and
• R e c e i p t and acceptance of subscriptions for shares of common stock with an aggre-gate purchase price within a range of the value of Macon Bancorp on an as converted basis to be established by an independent appraisal.
The conversion will not affect the bank’s relationships with its customers. Depositors will continue to hold accounts in the bank, insured by the FDIC to the full extent legally permissible, in the same amounts and with the same rates of return and general terms. The amounts, rates, maturities, collateral terms and other provisions of the loans of the bank to its borrowers will con-tinue unchanged. The bank’s normal business operations will continue without interruption under its cur-rent policies and will be carried on in its existing offices by its present
management and staff.A proxy and prospectus will
be sent to each member of Macon Bancorp as of a record date to be established for a special meeting of members to vote on the plan. Those documents will explain the plan and the proposed conversion in detail.
Macon Bank, Inc. is a North Carolina-chartered financial institu-tion, locally owned and operated,
t ha t focuses on full-service banking, includ-ing small busi-ness customers. The bank oper-
ates 11 offices in Western North Carolina. On Dec. 31, 2010, the bank reported $1.012 billion in as-sets and 179 employees.
According to bank officials, this notice of the proposed conversion of Macon Bancorp to stock owner-ship is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of common stock. Any offer will be made only by the prospectus to be distributed at a later time. The securities to be offered by Macon Bancorp will not be deposits or accounts of Macon Bank and will not be insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo-ration or any other governmental agency.

to the volunteers,” she said. Newton found herself struck by
the giving attitudes of volunteers. She said one volunteer was
disappointed because TBOM was only able to provide one blanket per family. In prior years the orga-nization gave out one blanket per family member.
Services to individuals in-creased by 17 percent last year, while services for families in-creased by 11 percent.
TBOM worked with DSS, Steps to HOPE and the sheriff’s office to make sure all families in need were taken care of without duplicating services, Newton said.
Newton said it’s important to prevent repetition so resources
reach more in need. She said she’s seen in prior
volunteer work how families can teeter on the brink of financial devastation. She served on an outreach committee at her church in Florida. There she directly came into contact with poverty.
“I got to know people that were just on the edge and needed just that little bit of help,” Newton said.
Once Newton and her husband moved to Polk County from Char-lotte, she became involved with Holy Cross Episcopal Church; serving two years on a team fo-cused on in-reach.
The group coordinated the church’s efforts to provide meals and home repair to parishioners.
It was through those efforts she

found herself introduced to the work of TBOM.
“When I understood that this opportunity existed it felt some-what natural,” Newton said. “This organization matches resources with needs and we can do so much more if we work together because the resources are there.”
Through her professional life, Newton raised funds for colleges, worked within the performing arts and assisted with the transition of patients from mental hospitals back into society, plus managed a secure document destruction service and her husband’s consult-ing business.
Her hope for the next year focuses on streamlining internal systems so that the TBOM staff is able to work together coopera-tively and smartly. She also plans to increase fundraising efforts.
“We are on our own,” Newton said. “But we are fortunate for what we have received. We just need to be more engaged with churches and community groups to tell our story and to ask them for funds and volunteers.”
This spring Newton also an-ticipates needing a variety of vol-unteers to help with the planned 8 acres for a community vegetable garden, and for flowers and trees to later be used in the beautifica-tion of Columbus.
Employees and volunteers have also expressed a desire to teach more self-sufficiency classes for families in need, Newton said.
“I think people take an awful lot for granted. When you have to think about, ‘How am I going to put food on the table for my fam-ily?’ for the first time, it can be tough,” she said. “We want them to have their dignity and we work to help them keep that.”
Newton said the organization plans to commemorate its two de-cades of service with a Valentine’s High Tea Feb. 13 from 4-6 p.m. The event aims to honor many of the organizations’ longtime vol-unteers, including former director Eloise Thwing, Newton said.

15 percent of the town’s general fund expenditures.
The state recommends local governments keep at least an 8 percent fund balance for re-serves, but most towns the size of Tryon average 20 percent or higher.
Although the town’s general fund revenues decreased last fis-cal year compared to year end 2009, the general fund ended on the positive side with $36,996.
T h e t o w n b r o u g h t i n $1,385,933 of revenues during fiscal year 2009-10 compared to $1,395,179 the previous year (2008-09). The town’s general fund spending also decreased by almost 10 percent from the previ-ous year, with general fund ex-penditures ending at $1,506,131 at year end 2010, compared to expenditures of $1,657,758 at year end 2009.
Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said the town budgeted accurately for what it would re-ceive in sales tax last fiscal year, but those expectations continue to decrease. The town received $210,457 in local option sales tax during fiscal year 2009-10, compared to $278,361 during fiscal year 2008-09, according to the audit. The sales tax revenue has continued to drop over the last few years.
To counter the decreasing revenue from sales tax, Tryon departments this year have made a goal to cut expenses by 5 per-cent. Also this fiscal year, which began July 1, the town decreased trash pick-up services from two days per week to one day per week for residences in hopes of saving money.
Tryon received three findings last fiscal year. One finding was for spending money that had not been appropriated and failing to amend the budget. The second finding was for having a lack of expertise to prepare financial statements.
The third finding was for hav-ing three departments that oper-ated with deficit fund balances. The fire department ended with a negative $13,970 fund balance, Harmon Field ended with a nega-tive $43,906 fund balance and the sanitation fund ended with a negative $62,025 fund balance, according to the audit report.
Harmon Field spent less than it received in revenues by $15,495 and cut its negative fund balance slightly last fiscal year. Harmon Field’s beginning fund balance was negative $59,401; at year’s end, its fund balance was negative $43,906.
The town’s enterprise fund, or water and sewer fund, saw a $27,340 decrease in revenues last year and a $94,736 decrease in expenditures. The water/sewer fund operated with a net income of $289,743 compared to a net income the previous year of $345,275, according to the audit.
The water and sewer fund had $1,629,780 in total revenues dur-ing fiscal year 2009-10 compared to $1,657,120 in 2008-09.
Expenditures in the water/sewer fund increased from year end 2009 to 2010. Total expen-ditures in 2010 were $1,172,022 compared to $1,077,286 in 2009.

Tryon police search for robbery suspect(s) by Leah Justice
Tryon has experienced a string of break-ins over the past few weeks and the Tryon Police Department is asking for the public’s help.
Last Tuesday, Jan. 18, the Vil-lage Book Shop on Maple Street was broken into, according to the Tryon Police Department.
Police chief Jeff Arrowood said sometime during the night, the suspect broke a window and entered through the door.
“Cash was taken from the busi-ness, as well as the Humane Society jar and the Thermal Belt Outreach jar,” Arrowood said.
Police said last week’s break-in could be connected to three other break-ins that occurred over the Christmas weekend at Nature’s Storehouse, Smith Optometric Eye Associates and Tryon Gold and Coin.
During the Christmas weekend, the Nature’s Storehouse on South Trade Street was broken into, as well as Smith’s Eye, located down-town and Tryon Gold and Coin, located downtown.
Arrowood reports that nothing was stolen from the Nature’s Store-house, and undisclosed amounts of cash were stolen from Smith Opto-metric and Tryon Gold and Coin.
Anyone with information re-garding any of these break-ins is urged to call the Tryon Police Department at 828-859-9195 or Foothills Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-7119.
Tips can be anonymous, and rewards are offered from Crime Stoppers for any information that leads to an arrest.

Exchange students visit Biltmore
Sabrina Schulteiss from Switzerland and Helen Lee from China in front of the Biltmore Estate. (photo submitted)
Editor’s note: The follow-ing was written by Sabrina Schulteiss, a 16-year-old AFS student from Switzerland. Schulteiss attends Polk County High School and lives in Green Creek with her host mom, Laura May, and host sister, Saman-tha.
As exchange students, Helen Lee (from China) and I had the chance to visit the Biltmore Estate as a Christmas present from our exchange organiza-tion (AFS). Since I am from Switzerland, I am pretty used to mansions and impressive houses but the first time I saw the Bilt-more house it took my breath. I have been told it’s a big house, but this wasn’t just a mansion but a hotel.
During the daylight we vis-ited the shops on the foot of the hill on which the Biltmore house is placed. We tasted jam, salad dressing, cheese ball mix and finally the hot apple cider which put me right into a Christmas mood.
After sunset we made our way up to the Biltmore house. Candles and Christmas trees decorated the inside of Biltmore house and besides a whole forest of Christmas trees there was also a choir singing Christmas songs and a harp player.
During a conversation with one employee, I found out that it took many years to build this amazing house with 250 rooms. The house was connected to elec-tricity from the beginning and has next to an elevator also a huge indoor swimming pool, a fitness room and a bowling lane.
I have to admit while I was walking through this 115-year-old house I was dreaming about living in it. Who needs an apart-ment on the upper east side or a mansion in Hollywood if you can have this?
The Biltmore estate by night was very beautiful but it would even be more beautiful if we would have been able to find our way out of it in less than 30 minutes.

Appearance Commission begins new year, announces new goals
The volunteer members who represent the community on the Polk County Appearance Com-mission met the first week of this new year to reflect on the accomplishments of 2010 and to plan for 2011.
The group’s goal is to promote and initiate projects that will enhance the appearance of local communities, and in this first “Appearance Matters” column of 2011 the group will share some of them.
2010 is notable for several important developments:
1. The web site devoted to beautification in our area is now online: www.beautifulfoot-hills.com. On this site you can see photographs of local scenes and learn more about the projects being discussed by the appearance commission.
2. Columbus won grants from the PCCF and from the NCDOT for gateway trees along both sides of Hwy. 108 beginning in front of the gas stations and going to the stop sign at Walker Street.
3. Polk County won an award for litter control improvement because of the large increase in participants in the Adopt-a High-way program.
4. Saluda gained a commitment from the NCDOT for landscape trees to be planted this winter on the west side of the entrance and exit ramps at I-26. Saluda resi-dents gave input to the NCDOT about the location and best type of trees for this location.
The mission of the appearance commission is to preserve and enhance the appearance of Polk County by advising and imple-menting programs of general community beautification. Taking on this challenge is a volunteer board appointed by the Polk County commissioners. The cur-rent members are Carolyn Ash-burn, Burt Baer, Beth Cannon, Joe
Cooper, Eric Gass, Harry Petersen and Rolfe Wardner. As liaison to our county leadership, commis-sioner Renee McDermott also meets with the group. Meetings are open to everyone and are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 5:30 p.m. at the Polk County Tourist Office in Columbus.
The group’s mission statement says: “Our vision is our Foothills clean and beautiful, with many public expressions of our creativ-ity and partnership with nature. Throughout the county there are beautifully planted areas on the roadsides and artful signs
welcoming visi-tors and inform-ing them of the many interest-ing features in this rural yet culturally rich
area. Buildings are appropriately designed and sized with night lighting that is safe and efficient but not obtrusive to others. Public areas are free of litter and clutter and often showcase our local artists.”
According to the appearance commission, the only blights in the community are the ones we cause ourselves. There are ran-dom discards of litter and treeless bare areas on the sides of some of the area’s most important public roads. In much of the area there are no informational signs wor-thy of the abundance of cultural traditions which include nature activities, viniculture, fine crafts and arts, literature and equestrian sports. Abandoned buildings and dwellings, intrusive night lighting and clear cut properties are rare but they constantly challenge the public to care more thoroughly about the community’s appear-ance.
The appearance commission encourages the community to get involved and invites you to con-tribute your ideas about how to make the Carolina Foothills clean

and green. The group’s members asks you to tell them the things you consider to be appearance problems and want to see trans-formed or removed. Let the group know what you most enjoy seeing and want to see preserved.
This column will be a regular feature in the Bulletin and will highlight the value of community beauty to our local citizens. Look here for information on public landscaping projects, the Points of Pride, and for upcoming litter clean up by local groups in the
Adopt-a Highway program. The appearance commission will in-vite different community leaders to write about their own personal visions for the appearance of our public areas. In the next column you will read about the Beautifica-tion Awards which will be given for the first time this year in June and annually thereafter to recog-nize beautification projects.
Contact the group on its web-site with ideas or e-mail polkac@polknc.org. Responses will be printed in upcoming “Appearance Matters” columns.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more.
Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store.
At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale!
The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.
One man's trash is another's treasure
Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia
entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully
completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

Carrying holiday spirit into January, Polk County High School hosted the third-annual Reindeer Games bringing in 14 schools and 425 registered runners.
“It was a great year. I believe we had more people here than we did last year,” said PCHS Track Coach Alan Peoples.
Peoples said assistant coach and former PCHS run-ner Amanda Simoncic initiated the idea.
“She thought it would be a great idea for us to throw a bit of fun into our practices so people ran around with reindeer antlers on and we gave candy canes out as prizes,” Peoples said. “Then the next year, she decided we should do it as a way to raise money for Thermal Belt."
Teams were asked to bring one can or a $2 donation per student. Last year, the event col-lected 864 cans of food. Peoples said they raised more than $400, which will translate to about $285 for TBOM after expenses.

Jonah Sabo, “The man in Charge,” is ready to start a day’s work at The Hospice Thrift Barn in Landrum. (photo submitted)
(ConTinueD on page 16)
Hospice Thrift Barn, Jonah Sabo work hand in hand for communityby maureen Smith for HoCF
“We only have one prob-lem with Jonah Sabo,” quipped Lindsey Moore, manager of the Hospice Thrift Barn in Landrum. “He just won’t stop working and take a break.”
“I have to tell him he can’t come to work if he doesn’t stop and eat,” said Theresa Sabo. She explained that her 21-year-old son Jonah is cognitively delayed and unable to interpret information correctly, but he loves physical labor.
“Socially, he’s right on; he loves being around people,” she said, “but he’s not always able to communicate well.”
As it turns out, Jonah’s strong work ethic benefits him as well as Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, explains Theresa, an occupational therapy student.
“Physical exercise helps peo-ple organize their brains and function better. Since he started volunteering at the barn,” she says, “his speech has improved, he’s putting more words together and organizing his thoughts bet-ter.”
Home-schooled with his five brothers and sisters, Jonah is unable to write or do math, but he compensates in other ways. For one thing, there is that work
ethic. And for another, there is his smile. Standing in front of the mounds of donations waiting to be sorted and bagged, he grins.
Accepting donated goods from another volunteer, he smiles again. And he grins ear-to-ear when Moore says that Jonah is “the man in charge.”
“When high school students come in to volunteer, I tell them to see Jonah if they need to know where something is,” said Moore.
Looking at the mountain of plastic bags and objects of ev-ery description donated by the community, it is hard to believe that anyone would know where anything was.
“He has an uncanny ability to keep track of everything and remember where it is,” said Theresa. To illustrate the point, Jonah walked over to a section of shelves and, in rapid-fire fashion, proudly identified objects.
This opportunity is such a self-esteem builder, his mother said. “They give him more opportunity here than I would give him at home. They don’t hover over him here. They give him something to do, give him instructions and let

ICC-Polk presents an evening with Lichty GuitarsAll fans of music, guitars,
ukuleles and fine craftsmanship are invited to Isothermal Com-munity College’s Polk Campus Tuesday, Jan. 25 to play these award-winning handcrafted gui-tars and ukuleles, to meet the luthier and to enjoy a short concert by luthier and musician Jay Lichty.
Lichtye will be on hand from 6-7 p.m. with a variety of his handcrafted instruments. You are invited to come by to play the instruments or simply talk with him and to learn more about how they are built.
From 7-8 p.m., Lichty will play an assortment of his instru-ments while sharing information
and stories about each and about life as a luthier.
Lichty produces his custom handmade guitars and ukuleles from his luthier’s shop in Tryon.
Lichty Guitars was recently chosen as the Overall Winner of the “Made in the South Awards” by “Garden and Gun Magazine.” The awards program was started
this year as a way of recognizing Southern artisans and entrepre-neurs whose work reflects integ-rity, character and, as editor-in-chief Sid Evans writes, “a sense of style that can only be described as Southern.”
The event is free and open to the public. More information is available at 828-894-3092.

business owner: Richard Baker
nature of business: Fine paintings and portraits
year founded: I have always painted. However, this is the first time I have opened my working studio to the public. Guests can stop in and check out what I’m working on, ask questions or just chat. It is nice to hear that people like my work.
prior Locations: Florida by way of Tennessee.
number of empLoyees: Just me.
how’s business? I’m very surprised at the positive reception I have received here in Tryon. The folks here are very supportive. That is fantastic. Currently, I am running 6-8 weeks behind on commission painting and have sold a lot of works. It is a great problem to have.
one thing you wish everyone knew about your business: I love to do paintings of the lo-cal flare. Landscapes, store fronts and people are my main subjects. There is so much in this area to paint. Every turn has something inspiring to paint. If
you have something that inspires you, please stop in and let me know.
something you offer that a customer won’t find eLsewhere: I paint in a realistic manner. I don’t see things out of focus or distorted. I think that is why my work is received well and I get repeat customers. Lately my commissions are requests to paint land-scapes of someone’s favorite view or place. And I enjoy it.
advice to young entrepreneurs: Don’t get in your own way.
your first job: My first job was working in a bakery (I got a little too creative applying the glazes to the donuts).
your roLe modeL (in business or in Life gener-aLLy): My hero is my father. My inspirations in artists are John Singer Sargent, William Trost Richards and Edgar Payne.
the key to a successfuL business is: Make sure your customers are satisfied. When I work on a com-mission painting, my client is welcome to stop by and check on the painting’s progress. That ensures they will be pleased. It also keeps me on track and we can make changes prior to completion. I want to make sure the painting will be enjoyed for years to come.

“There is such a sense of pride that comes with his working,” she added.
And then, almost on cue, there
was that smile as Jonah pointed at his wrist watch, signaled to us that he wants to get busy, and “The Man in Charge” got to work.
The Hospice Thrift Barn could use more volunteers to help “The Man in Charge” as the barn sup-ports the work of HoCF in the Carolina Foothills. Contact the
Thrift Barn staff at 864-457-7348 if you would like to help.
Hospice of the Carolina Foot-hills is also always looking for volunteers. Contact volunteer manager Kim Smith at 828-894-7000 or volunteer coordinator Tracey Brannon at 864-457-9100.

Chapman to show ‘Some Like It Hot’The classic Hollywood movie
“Some Like It Hot,” starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, will show on the big screen in the David Reid Theatre at the Chapman Cultural Center on Friday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m.
Released in 1959, “Some Like It Hot” has been listed con-sistently by cinema authorities as one of the best movies ever made and certainly as one of the best comedies. It is a story of two struggling musicians who
witness what looks to be the Saint Valentine’s Day massacre of 1929.
With gangsters in pursuit, the duo goes on the lam, disguising themselves as women, and join an all-girl musical band. Both men become enchanted by Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), the band’s lead singer and ukulele player.
“This is the first movie of our Hollywood Classics Winter Series,” marketing director Steve Wong said. “This year, we’ll have
three movies: this one, “West Side Story” on Feb. 12, and “Gone With the Wind” on April 16.”
This is the Chapman Cultural Center’s second year of showing classic Hollywood movies on the big screen in the David Reid Theatre. Movies were also shown for the summer, Halloween and Christmas.
For more information or to buy tickets, call 864-542-ARTS or go online at ChapmanCultur-alCenter.org.
