Who Puts Up the Christmas Lights in Little River?
December 13, 2017
Little River, SC may lack a local municipality, but that has not deterred them from celebrating the holidays. Since 2005, the Little River Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center has been putting up Christmas lights along Highway 17 and Mineola Avenue to get the community in a festive mood. They also donated the 40 foot tree in 2008 for the Little River Tree Lighting Ceremony held annually at C. B. Berry Community & Historical Center. (View their Facebook page for photos from this year's event.)
"As the gateway to the Grand Strand, we are proud to welcome our visitors and residents alike with the Christmas spirit in our community" said Jennifer Walters, President/CEO of the chamber. This year the chamber invested in upgrading to LED technology for the holiday street lights, which are much brighter and longer lasting. In the future they hope to work with Santee Cooper to put up additional brackets for more lights.
The chamber's primary objective is to make the Little River area an even better place to live, work and play. The Little River area's economic success and quality of life is directly impacted by the work the chamber performs, and unlike most chambers nationwide, the Little River Chamber of Commerce & Visitor's Center administers local necessities in the absence of a local municipality.
