Henry David Thoreau said in his novel Walden that, “Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.” Books may be priceless, but that doesn’t mean readers need to pay full price. This weekend, Friends of the Greenville County Library is hosting its 23 Annual Really Good, Really Big, Really Cheap Book Sale. Shop from a wide selection of books, movies, and music in a laid back setting. Purchase a Kick Off Party ticket for early entry, or sign up to be a volunteer for free entry! Ideas are for sale this weekend; don’t miss it!
The Bridgeway Farmer’s Market is proud to announce its first annual Peach Jam and Cobbler Showdown! Join this Thursday for an intense baking competition in which renowned chefs will compete for the title of “Greenville’s Biggest Peach.” Participants will sample the chef’s cobblers and vote for their favorite! But that’s not all. The Peach Jam will also include live music, a live painting by Alexa Ternes, and face painting/games for children. Come for the cobbler, stay for the delectable produce options at the farmer’s market.
