Can you believe there is an alpaca farm right in the middle of a subdivision right here in Spartanburg? Come for a visit and get up close and personal with these unique animals. Karen and Juergen will take you on a tour of the farm and offer fun facts and history of alpacas. You will have a chance to hand-feed some alpacas, put your hands in their "oh so soft" fleece, and learn about what happens with the fleece after shearing. Please wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes to walk in the fields.

Following authorization by Congress of September 16, 1919, Spartanburg Post No. 28 with County Court Judge Bobo Burnett as Commander and the late John D. Hamer, Adjutant, was organized October 1, 1919 and received its charter June 29, 1921. There were 184 charter members, a majority having served as either non-com or commissioned officers. Membership rose to about 1200 immediately following the end of WWII. With the completion of the Legion Home in Duncan Park in 1937, meetings have been held there since. The Museum section of the Post opened in 2007 and holds donated memorabilia from The War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish/American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

- SOCIAL EVENT: Dinner and A Movie
-
Price: $15.00
Date: 10/17/2024 -- 10/17/2024
Day of the Week: Th
Time: 4:00 PM -- 7:30 PM
Location: Wofford College Campus McMillan Theatre
With Halloween right around the corner from this social event, we thought it would be fun to watch a scary ghoulish movie that wasn't too scary or too ghoulish. Tim Burton's Beetlejuice is the choice. Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie an 86% and summarizes the flick: "After Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house. When the unbearable Deetzes (Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones) and teen daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success. Their efforts attract Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a rambunctious spirit whose "help" quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia." Join Ray Merlock as he discusses the film before and after the movie with insights and tidbits to make your movie watching even more enjoyable. We will be serving pizza and water/beer/wine after and for dessert? You guessed it! Halloween candy! We will be trying out a new venue on campus (oh, you are gonna love this theater!) while the college students are on Fall Break. Join us!

Using French words or the word 'French' to describe something lends a certain cachet of specialness in English even when the items aren't French at all. We'll take a short quiz in class to see if you know whether certain 'French' items really are French, then we'll look into the life of Julia Child, the woman who introduced French cooking to America.

- SPECIAL EVENT: Growing Up in a Small Textile Village & the Search for Black Relatives
-
This event will focus on growing up in the small textile mill village of Lockhart, SC in the 1940s and 1950s. While similar to growing up in a mill village in Spartanburg, there were distinct differences. The search for black relatives is an interesting story that finally solves long-held family secrets. The man who became the first black person to work in the process areas of the mill, who later became the Mayor of an all-white community, will share some of his stories about the integration of the plant.

LITTER: Environmental and Personal Liabilities and Actions to Offset Them: Joyce Harrison will discuss the litter problem impacting South Carolina from the mountains to our coasts. Our South Carolina Aquarium, located on the banks of the Charleston Harbor, has been tracking litter data since 2016. In 2019 they realized that much of the litter on our coasts was emanating from inland sources via our statewide watersheds. This presentation will identify litter problems, impacts, and solutions. We’ll explore actions we can all take to improve outcomes for our health and the health of our planet.
