Surrounded by the relics of civil war, the Joyful Harps rang out the joyous sounds of the carols of the Prince of Peace this past Friday night at the South Carolina 16th Regiment Museum.
An audience of well over 100 came to the museum to enjoy light refreshments, fellowship and a concert of Celtic harp music from the sisters Raquelle and Heather Sheen, who make up the Joyful Harps duet.
The sisters, attired in Civil War-period hoopskirts, played such Christmas favorites as Silent Night, What Child is This?, O Holy Night, Joy to the World and The Coventry Carol, to name a few.

This past Saturday, Animal Care sponsored a fun-filled holiday event for God’s precious animals and their loving owners.
The event had toys, bowls and homemade dog treats that the owners could buy as stocking stuffers for their furry friends for Christmas.
The highlight of the event was the picture with Santa. Dogs came dressed in their favorite holiday fashions from red velvet outfits to bows and ribbons; each animal was ready to sit on Santa’s lap. After getting their picture taken, their owners could sit at the craft table and create a picture frame as a gift to give to a loved one of their animal sitting with Santa.

Lois Keenan, Firefighter from River Falls Fire Department, Marietta, SC, received the coveted Firefighter of the Year award from her Fire Chief, David Emory, at their Christmas Firefighter Dinner this past Saturday evening. She is only the second woman in the 26-year history of the fire department to receive this prestigious award.
She recounts the moment that led up to the award. “I was not sure it was me. When they called my name, I was beside myself. I had tears in my eyes, and I could not stop grinning. I danced up to David Emory and thanked him, “So many other firefighters deserve this award more than me. I felt honored and proud that I was chosen to have received this award.”
