South Congaree, SC 01/06/2024 - Congaree Cares, a group that does good works for the people of the South Congaree area of Lexington County, was excited to sponsor their 5th annual Business Christmas Decorating contest in December. The Christmas 2024 theme was Iconic Christmas Characters and exhibits were judged based in part on how well they featured that theme in their displays. According to Mrs. Sylvia Corley-Drennon, a founding member and president of the group, the decorated storefronts, themed displays, and festive atmosphere were truly enchanting.
Corley-Drennon stated, “It's inspiring to see how local businesses come together to create such a magical experience for our community. Congaree Cares judges had a tough time choosing a winner due to the creativity and effort put into the decorations.”
Overall, the following businesses captured the essence of the holiday season: joy, wonder, and community spirit. It's a wonderful reminder to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures and the magic of the season.
The participating businesses were: Ole Timey Meat Market, House of Pizza, Grace & Beauty Salon, Steve’s Deli, and the South Congaree-Pine Ridge Branch Library.
When the judges finally did decide the winners, they were:
1st Place Ole Timey Meat Market
2nd Place Grace & Beauty Salon
