We're finally publishing on a day that's not rainy, and the imminence of spring is stirring activity in our community this weekend.
On Saturday, Greenville's Chamber of Commerce is holding its second annual Saturday Nite at the Races, a video horse racing event that mimics the Kentucky Derby. Mint juleps and hours d'oeuvres will be served, a hat contest will be held, and participants will bet "funny money" on the races, with the chance to win a number of prizes if their horse wins. The Races begin at 6:30pm at Shumardii's in Greenville. For more information, visit the Chamber's website.
Hooten's Hardware in Emory is heralding the arrival of spring with its Annual Demo Days on Friday and Saturday. There will be free hot dogs and drinks, drawings for door prizes, and KMOO will be broadcasting live on Saturday. Of course, attendees will get a chance to demo the latest and greatest power tools and mowers, and there will be slashed prices throughout the store.
Fairlie Greenhouse will also be showing off its spring offerings this weekend, with an open house on Friday and Saturday, from 8am to 6pm. Free coffee and donuts will be provided, and Fairlie Greenhouse is conveniently located just five miles northwest of Commerce on Highway 11.
This week's Shopper has plenty of ads offering great deals for spring activities, as well. For instance, on page 6, check out a coupon for $1 off fishing supplies at Reames Market in Cash. Comb through the rest of the paper for more fun activities and bargains - and don't forget that this is the last week of our annual Drug-Free Coloring Contest!
