Thank you to The MB6 Foundation for presenting Fountain Inn Parks and Recreation with their Spring Grant!
In late February, Shaun Blake with the MB6 Fountain presented Fountain Inn Parks and Recreation with their spring grant. This grant provides financial support for local youth to participate in team sports. They also presented gift cards to assist with equipment costs. A huge thanks to the MB6 Foundation for their support of our community!

Swanky Steer grows into a new location!
After a year open on Main Street, Swanky Steer has outgrown its first storefront and moved into a larger storefront. From our Main Street team, "Swanky Steer is the epitome of what success looks like. Their journey is a story we can all stand behind and support, and we are beyond thrilled for their continued growth on Main Street Fountain Inn. There is nothing you can't do with hard work, friendship, and faith in the future."

March 18th is Natural Gas Utility Workers Day!
The official Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day is March 18th! The date commemorates the New London, Texas school explosion in 1937 that led to the widespread odorization of natural gas and an increased emphasis on safety. Safety is a vital aspect to natural gas distribution and the employees of distribution companies endeavor to make natural gas delivery as safe as possible.

This annual nationwide event is intended to build public awareness about the hard work done by the employees of natural gas utilities. On this day, we will also educate residents on the environmental, safety and cost benefits of using clean, reliable and affordable natural gas. This is the eighth year in which Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day has been officially celebrated across the country.

A special thank you to all Fountain Inn Natural Gas Utility workers who keep us safe while ensuring access to natural gas!
