April started out with a bang on April 4 and 5 with a fantastic Spring Jubilee. It was wonderful. Please check out Spring Jubilee Lens for updated photos and videos.
Next we had the Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Parade sponsored by Pendleton Area Business Association. I think a great time was had by all. Lynne Parker, Mary Jo Craig, Eddie Nail, Tim Doyle, Lisa Doyle and Missy Nail as well as others helped to make this happen and I am sure all the children appreciated their efforts. I posted a video of the Egg Hunt on Pendleton Happenings so please stop by and take a look.
The weekend of April 18th is a very busy one with yard sales happening at the First Baptist Church of Pendleton and at BiLo. Work Days will be going on at Pendleton Elementary School Memory Garden and Barrett's Place Playground. Pendleton United Methodist Men will be having their big Barbecue and I am here to tell you that it is delicious. The Pendleton Elks Lodge will be made offical in Greenville. I joined the Elks Lodge because I believe in what they stand for and think this organization will be a big asset to Pendleton. There is still much, much more happening so please check the happenings.
