Snacks for the great outdoors
By Olivia Fowler
For The Courier
The calendar says fall is here, and temperatures finally seem to be dropping.
The season offers a chance to enjoy the outdoors without collapsing from the heat. It’s a perfect time to hit the trail with friends or tour botanical gardens.
But you will get hungry, and you may not be within easy distance of a snack bar. So, it’s a good idea to pack some snacks that are satisfying and good for you. Also, make sure you take some water. We forget how quickly we can become dehydrated outside, so drink before you get thirsty.
These granola bar recipes are all a little different and you can experiment with a variety of ingredients if you like. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits for those listed here and change up the nuts if these aren’t your favorites.
Have a great time in the great outdoors, and never go hungry.

Morning in the woods
By Iva Stratton
Courier
istratton@thepccourier.com
I was up early in the morning that day as I anxiously awaited the time when I could get on the stand to hunt. It was about an hour before 
sunlight, and as I looked out the window, all I could see was the heavy condensation of fog and darkness.
I gathered up all my gear and jumped into the car and drove down into the woods toward my stand. My eyes were still groggy from the lack of sleep, as I tried to shake off the tiredness from the night before. I was just too excited to be hunting again, and I anticipated great things for the day. It seemed like a hundred years since the last time I was here in the woods.
I always loved getting the opportunity to hunt, and today was no exception. My heart was beginning to beat faster and faster, and my eyes were slowly

Former Easley star Fuller dies
EASLEY — As news traveled of former Easley High School and Clemson running back C.J. Fuller’s sudden death last Wednesday night, the tributes
from family, friends and former teammates began to flood social media.
Fuller, an Easley native, was 22 years old when he died suddenly.
Although sources said Fuller suffered a seizure brought on by blood clots following a knee surgery, the Pickens County Coroner’s Office won’t have a final cause of death until an autopsy is completed.
Fuller was a star running back for the Green Wave before playing at Clemson, where he was a part of the 2016 national championship team before deciding to transfer earlier this year.
He set Easley’s single-season school rushing record with 2,090 yards as a junior, and he scored 33 total touchdowns for the Green Wave as he helped lead the

PUMPKINTOWN — When it comes to Pumpkintown’s annual Pumpkin 
Festival, the adage “If you build it, they will come” proves true.
“Last year, they estimated we had around 50,000 people show up,” festival chairman Buddy Cox said. “That sort of blew us out of our socks.”
This year’s festival is slated for this Saturday, Oct. 13, in and around the Oolenoy Community Building.
“We start around 9 a.m.,” Cox said.
Each year’s festival starts out with a parade. The parade will start around
