Fall for Liberty Bluegrass Festival
Plans are under way for the third annual Fall for Liberty Bluegrass Festival to be held downtown from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. on Oct. 25. In 2014, 116 vendors will join the festivities. Visitors will find attractions including hayrides, inflatables for the kids, arts and crafts of all types, a cake walk, a large variety of food vendors and much more. There will also be a chili cook-off. Pictured above is one of the bands from last year’s event.

That’s not really a good excuse, because in 1981 the Tigers were undefeated and won the national championship, yet somehow my check from the school must have gotten lost in the mail.
So the lesson is that if Clemson is undefeated and wins the national championship, my pay remains the same as if the team lost every game of the season. So why do I get so excited every year?
This season I was really excited. All we needed to do was beat Georgia, somehow upset Florida State, then win the rivalry game against the Gamecocks — a tall order since they have won five straight years against Clemson.
But we didn’t even do the first one. Now upsetting Florida State in a couple of weeks looks unlikely, and who knows what will happen when we play those birds from Columbia. And North Carolina is looking iffy too. And Louisville, Duke, Wake Forest
