The first weekend in
April is our local, Lamar S.C, festival. The name of this festival is the Egg
Scramble.
During this weekend
people from surrounding areas such as Darlington, Hartsville, Florence,
Bishopville, and Sumter come to support and show love to the Lamar community.
There are rides for
kids to enjoy. Thecircumstances of these rides are from little kids to
teenagers and even tweens.
The Egg Scramble also
offers different food booths for individuals to chow down on. Some booths serve
funnel cakes and sweets while others sell Philly cheese steaks and loaded hot
dogs. There are a variety of food and rides that anyone would enjoy.
The local high school
band, my alumni school and band, performs during the annual parade and
sometimes other bands perform as well. The parade also consists of creative
cars owned by locals and sometimes different cartoon characters for the kids to
watch.
This event usually
starts Thursday night and end Saturday night. This is weekend where the
community comes together and celebrates us being a town and being there for one
another.
I recommend everyone to
have a festival or event in their home town. It doesn't matter how small or how
big it is, the goal is to give back to the community and show others how your
town is better than theirs. Just remember different events in your town are the
reason people stay and increase and population or leave without looking back.
