HAPPENINGS AROUND PENDLETON SC

Pendleton SC is a small historic town nestled in the foothills of the Upstate. With a population inside the town limits of approximately 3,000 people, it is filled with charm and wonderful folks.

This page is intended to keep you informed of events and other news about Pendleton SC. Even though we are a small community, we have a lot going on as you can see by the listings. I hope that everyone will feel free to let me know of their event or news so I can add it to the list.
Note: I am just a community volunteer and do not work for the town of Pendleton. This is just something that I do on my own. If you need more information about an event, please call the number listed for that event. I just post what I am given. Thank you.

If you are new to a Squidoo lens, this is a Scroll Down Web page so just keep scrolling and reading until you can scroll no more. Thank you.

The Story of Littlejohn's Grill in Clemson SC

by Vince Jackson

Nothin' But The BluesFest - Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 7:00pm until Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 6:00pm in Clemson.
For more information, visit the website http://clemsonbluesfest.com This event was inspired by the book, The Story of Littlejohn's Grill in Clemson SC by Vince Jackson

SUGARCANE PRESS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF A NEW BOOK
BY VINCE JACKSON

THE LITTLEJOHN'S GRILL STORY:
BLUES, JAZZ AND ROCK 'N' ROLL IN CLEMSON, SC

During the time of segregation, one beacon helped light the way for black entertainers travelling the Blues Road in the Upstate-The Littlejohn's Grill.

Touring on the Chitlin' Circuit, the only venue available to black performers, brought many soon-to-be-famous entertainers to Clemson.

James Brown, Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte, Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Count Basie, Ruth Brown, LaVern Baker, Otis Redding and many others made appearances in Clemson during the 1950s and 1960s. Jackson tells their stories and examines the history of segregation in a small Southern college town, adding many colorful details about the history of the area.

Vince Jackson is a free-lance reporter for the Anderson Independent-Mail and a contributor to magazines such as LIVING BLUES, which published an article about the Grill in the June, 2010 issue.

Vince has lived in Clemson for more than 20 years. He became interested in Littlejohn's Grill when he kept hearing stories about major entertainer's appearances in Clemson. The Littlejohn's Grill story is relatively unknown. At the present time Vince is working on a documentary film featuring interviews with living Grill patrons.

Copies of the Littlejohn's Grill book may be obtained by contacting the author:

VINCE JACKSON
864-650-0585 or website Littlejohn's Grill Website

Vince is available to speak to your group about the history of Littlejohn's Grill and hold book signings at your events. Please contact him for more details.

SCOUTING IN PENDLETON

Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts

Scouting In Pendleton

NOTE: It is our belief that all boys should have the opportunity to participate in Cub Scouts. Money is tight for everyone, and we do no want finances to be the reason that a boy is denied participating in our events. If you would like to be considered for financial assistance, please complete the FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST and submit it to April at the next meeting. (Form can be found on the web-site, or available directly from April) We have resources at the Pack, Chartering Organization, and District Levels in which you may qualify for assistance.

Cub Scouts Pack 94 meets every Tuesday evening at 7pm at the Pendleton United Methodist Church. Everyone is welcome to come out and check us out. We are looking for anyone who may want to try out a Leadership role with Scouts between the ages of 7-11. If you know of a boy almost turning 7 and would like to try their hand at the Cub Scouts by all means come on out and take a look around. Feel free to email me anytime, Chris Slice - Adrastos2626@hotmail.com

See you Tuesday at the Pack meeting!

My Sister's Pendleton Lens

#1 in Local Topic

Thank you ALL!

This lens was #1 in Local on December 3, 2008. Hopefully it will stay there for a little while. Thank you to everyone who views, comments, and rates this lens.

Unfortunately, we are now a long way from the number 1 spot. It is the fall of 09 and I sure hope traffic will pick up soon so we can once again have this lens in the top rankings.
