Business owners say the annual St. Patrick s Day Festival could be the boost businesses are looking for. Author: Devin Johnson Updated: 6:42 PM EST February 17, 2021
ORANGEBURG, S.C. The City of Orangeburg is discussing whether to let the Downtown Orangeburg Revitalization Association host its annual St. Patrick s Day Festival next month. For the moral of Orangeburg County, I think it will be a great idea because there is not a whole of social events rights now, said Owner of Coffee & Things, Desiree Ross.
Ross runs an insurance agency in the heart of downtown Orangeburg. She says the decrease in foot traffic due to the pandemic caused her to open a coffee shop inside her existing business. Ross says the annual St. Patrick s Day Festival could be the boost businesses are looking for.
