I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

I was watching the Country Music Awards last week and was so proud to see last year’s American Idol Carrie Underwood receive her much-deserved recognition. She had a number of people to thank when she went up on stage the second time. A little more prepared, she took out a list to read.

We here at the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce have a list of people we’d like to thank for helping sponsor our annual Independence Day Celebration, ‘Round The Fourth. So, let me get my list out!

Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Conway for your support and for staffing our Pepsi tents; HTC and Myrtle Beach Building Supply/Independent Builders/Bridge Towne Real Estate for serving as our festival co-sponsors; Conway National Bank for hosting our Fireworks Extravaganza at 9:30 p.m.; Centex Homes for sponsoring our Kids Construction Zone at the Riverfront Park as well as staffing the Future Builders contest at 3:30 p.m.; the City of Conway for sponsoring our Teen Cool Zone along Second Avenue; First Federal Bank for sponsoring our Family Stage at Riverfront Park and Duplicates Ink for sponsoring the live entertainment on that stage; Pee Dee Farm Credit for sponsoring our Beach Music stage underneath the Main Street bridge and Day Trucking for sponsoring the music on the stage; Bradham Insurance for sponsoring our Country Music stage on the lawn of the historic court house and First Citizens Bank for hosting the music on that stage; Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar for bringing us our headline acts Earl Thomas Conley and Charlie Brown’s Coasters; SunCom for presenting our ‘Round The Fourth Tennis Classic and Carolina Custom Blinds for serving as the Tennis Classic co-sponsor; Chick-fil-A, Zaxby’s and Sam’s Club for serving as hospitality sponsors for the Tennis Classic; Qantum Radio, WPDE and The Horry Independent for serving as our media sponsors and helping us spread the word about our festival; Eastern Sales and the Conway Bass Masters Club for sponsoring and hosting our ‘Round The Fourth Bass Tournament and the Kids Casting competition, which will be held in the Kids Construction Zone at the Riverfront Park; Better Brands for sponsoring our beer wagons; Anderson Brothers Bank for hosting our Business Expo; Palmetto Chevrolet for sponsoring our free festival tram, the Little Blue Choo; Conway Medical Center for sponsoring our first aid and baby changing stations; Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union for hosting our Arts & Crafts Show; Bella Vita for serving as this year’s Caterer to the Stars; Native Sons for serving as our souvenir sponsor; Walmart for serving as our Tribute To America sponsor; Gary’s Pumping Service for sponsoring our portolets; Holiday Inn Express for providing accommodations for our headline acts; Carolina Southern Railroad for hosting our train rides; Graham Golf Cars, Inc. for sponsoring our festival golf carts, Electric Service of South Carolina for providing your electrical knowledge during our festival; Conway Rental Center for your help in coordinating event necessities; and Hertz Rental for making sure all is powered as it should. And most importantly, let’s give thanks to God that we can have such a festival and that we live in a community that works together to host an event of this magnitude. Because of your community spirit, Conway is truly a great place to live, work and play! Have a great summer and we’ll see you all on June 24th!
