A beautiful sunny day welcomed visitors to last Saturday’s ninth annual Easley Spring Fling, the first festival of the year in Pickens County. The Spring Fling featured live music, food, arts and crafts, games and activities for children and much more. Now that spring is officially here, festival season is in full swing in Pickens County, with the next couple months featuring events ranging from the Azalea Festival and Blue Ridge Fest in Pickens to the Central Railroad Festival and Six Mile’s Issaqueena Festival.
