EASLEY — The Pickens County Humane Society has raised enough money to keep it open until the end of the year.
Last week, PCHS officials were uncertain if the organization would be able to remain open.
The society hosted a luncheon in Easley Wednesday and gave attendees an update on its outlook.
“Hopefully, we’ll have many more, with your love and support of the animals,” Pree Hamilton said of the luncheon. “We strive to succeed.”
Earlier this month, the society announced that, due to financial strain, it would no longer be accepting animals and

EASLEY — Pickens County School Board trustees announced Monday night they are delaying a vote on a 2020-21

But Swords said while the district feels fortunate to have been granted a waiver by the state, feedback from parents has included concerns about vacation plans and how the early
