Myrtle Beach Monofilament Line Holders

Did you know monofilament fishing line can take up to 500 years to break down? A local in our community donated five monofilament recycling bins to our department and we were happy to place them at our most visited beach accesses. We are encouraging local fishermen to use the recycling bins to keep the used line out of our oceans.

Myrtle Beach Story Walk Aiken County Punt, Pass & Kick

A Story Walk has been added as an experience at one of our parks, Grand Park. The featured book is, Big Dance by Aoife Greenham. Each page is mounted low to the ground so anyone can read along. All of the stages include silly interactive instructions that make it fun for the whole family. The books will be replaced each quarter.

Richland County “Power in Pink”

On October 2, Aiken County PRT hosted their Punt, Pass & Kick local competition for boys & girls ages 6-14 at Harrison Caver Park.

Richland County hosted a “Power in Pink” event in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month that provided Richland County residents with education, socialization and celebration of Breast Cancer survivors. The day included the Prisma Health Mammography Unit, line dancing, raffle prizes, giveaways, vendors, local radio station live broadcast, and lunch for all participants.
