A high school rodeo was staged in early April. The Rotary Club horse show, which moved to South Congaree from Lexington, occupied the arena April 20-22. Many of the folks who live near the arena don't mind the weekend commotion. As long as people don't get out of control, it should be all right. You have to be up for progress.
Nearby businesses appreciate the arena events.
David Sanders, who runs the Pantry Express, said store was extremely busy during the horse show. We've had quite a few people stop and ask us about the monster truck show, but all we know about it is what we've heard on radio. Sanders and several other business managers in the area said they would like to get a monthly schedule of arena events to help them plan for their personnel needs. For instance, extra staff was needed last week because of the truck show. Sid Bryant, who runs Flo's Attic and U-Haul, said the weekend of the horse show was his busiest this year.
