I might have to check it out, I always wanted to look at those up close. Going up in one is a different story tho.

I live in Simpsonville and Heritage Park isn't near as big as the Donaldson Center or where it was in Anderson. I really don't know how they are going to pull it off but more power to them. Hope to see yall there.

I am thinking that Country Earl had a resturant near there, do you know if it is still open?
Maybe I don't even know where heritage park is!

I think CE has changed ownership. But thats over by the Golden Park...Mauldin.

Heritage Park is a few miles up from the "Muffler shaped" guy on side of the road (in a previous thread) between Simpsonville/Fountain Inn.

From what dad says... (works @ Lockheed Martin) the alloted space and the things on the grounds (near Lockheed) the festival would have lost some "important" room...

I think the move to Anderson wasn't as big as many would hope (numbers). I think they are hoping a different venue would help?

The first volley of balloons took flight this morning at 7...

Free admission....5-bux to park. They also have a "free" stage and the stage for the premium shows....
