I love our Pendleton Businesses

This past Monday, I tagged along with some friends as we went around visiting businesses on the square to tell them about Fall Festival, the Historic House Tour, the Scarecrow Contest and the ad for Fall Festival. We started out with grits, toast and coffee at the Village Baker and I must say that they make the best grits ever. Their grits are even better than my husband's and that is saying a lot. We got ourselves organized and heading out on our mission. First stop was Still On The Square and we went down the list telling Cindy everything she needed to know about Fall Festival but we didn't leave without making some purchases. I love that Cindy is helping to promote local authors in her shop and was glad to see she had Jimmy Manley's New Book.

Next we went to Ammons Portrait Studio. Oh, he does have some beautiful photography in his studio and we enjoyed looking at all of it. We visited with Jim at Bailes Cobbler Shop and he sure has a great business going on there. He is known to be do the best shoe repair in the upstate.

Charlie and Josh both were in at Blueridge Antiques and Colonial Square Antiques so we got to get in some browsing and visiting while we gave them all the information. I went on up to Main Street Designs because I remember that I needed to make a hair appointment and meantime hubby calls and wants to meet for lunch. Jean and Jo continued on our mission and excused me for the rest of the day. They said they had a great time and I was sorry that I wasn't with them. Maybe next time!
