Campobello sets July 3 for America 250 celebration, schedules town cleanup and community series
Summary
The Town Council voted unanimously to hold its America 250 celebration on July 3, set a Town Cleanup Day for April 25, and scheduled the first 'Campobello: Past, Present, and Future' community engagement event for April 16. Council also outlined vendor and parade plans and a business forum and classes for residents.
The Campobello Town Council unanimously voted on March 9 to hold the town’s America 250 celebration on July 3, with Council Member Joe McDowell making the motion and Council Member Lance Kaminer seconding it. Preliminary plans discussed include a small community parade, a decorated bike parade for children, old‑fashioned games, food trucks and music, and a suggested 6–9 p.m. timeframe centered on the park and ball field.
Council also unanimously approved a Town Cleanup Day on April 25 at 9:00 a.m. (motion by Council Member Reitha Stevenson, seconded by Joe McDowell). Separately, the council agreed to schedule the first 'Campobello: Past, Present, and Future' event for April 16 at 6:00 p.m.; the two‑part series will include a spaghetti dinner and historical storytelling at the first meeting and a later session on present projects and future plans.
Staff discussed logistics such as parade routing, flag displays, vendor management and outreach to local veterans (including identifying a potential veteran grand marshal). The council also announced a Business Forum for local businesses on March 23 and noted forthcoming community education offerings (gardening classes from Clemson Extension and potential self‑defense classes from Hub City Karate).
