This week's GreerView segment features a new downtown mural project, a new sponsor at the Prisma Health Performance Center, and info on the next Greer150 sesquicentennial celebration.
New Downtown Mural
The artist who painted the downtown Greer150 mural is back in the city working on a second project. Adam Schrimmer from Blank Canvas Mural Company used a projector to sketch the basic outline of the new mural on the side of The Great Bay Oyster House building at the intersection of North Main and East Poinsett Streets, but this weekend's rain washed some of it away. Adam will redraw the outline before beginning the painting.
Adam shared this picture of what it looked like when he was tracing the projected image on the side of the building last week.
New Sponsor ForGreer
CBL State Savings Bank is investing in a space that will bring people together for years to come. CBL is the official sponsor of the Event Hall inside the new Prisma Health Performance Center which is set to open in early 2027.
Dates for the inaugural year of the facility are starting to fill up. Book your event using this form.
Catawba Nation Event
Hundreds of people gathered at the Edward R. Driggers Center for the Arts this weekend for a cultural immersion event with the Catawba Nation.
In addition to enjoying drumming, storytelling, and learning, guests made dream catchers out of freshly cut vines and participated in the Friendship Dance.
Memorial Softball Tournament
Thirteen teams of first responders competed in the Upstate South Carolina Law Enforcement Memorial Softball Tournament at Century Park this weekend. Laurens 243 came away as the winner of the 15th annual tournament.
Money raised from the event supports the families of fallen officers. You can still make a donation to the Upstate SC Law Enforcement Memorial Fund here if you'd like to help.
Coming Up
On Tuesday, Greer City Council will hold a workshop on smoke and vape shops at 5:30 p.m. followed by the regularly scheduled Council meeting at 6:30. Both meetings will take place at Greer City Hall. The Greer 8U Softball State Champions will be recognized at the City Council meeting.
