Edgefield Mayor invites bikers to visit town and county


web posted July 7, 2009
EDGEFIELD – The Town of Edgefield and Edgefield Mayor Ken Durham have been highlighted in Carolina Chrome, a free biker magazine in the Carolina’s. Edgefield Mayor Ken Durham invited Tommy Lee, the magazine’s Publisher, to Edgefield for a visit. The subsequent visit ended in an article that is featured in the July edition under “Road Trips” with a picture of the county courthouse and Mayor Durham on his Harley.

Mr. Lee states in the article that biker boots aren’t made for walking, but “I recommend you put your kickstand down and do some wondering around.” Lee spends his article flattering the town’s people, the home cooking, historic locations, and encourages readers to make the road trip to Edgefield.

Mayor Durham offered a letter welcoming bikers to Edgefield and the surrounding county for “wonderful riding experiences for bikers. There are miles of sleepy, meandering, rural roads that wind through unique communities, peach orchards, horse farms, and Sumter National Forest.”

Durham talks of the many shops and dining available and said, “I look forward to meeting you during your visit when I can say to you personally, ‘Welcome to our Town!’”

Carolina Chrome can be found on the web at http://www.carolinachromemagazine.com

Looking through the magazine with pages of ads for criminal defense attorneys, biker events, tattoo parlors, repair shops, and biker “watering holes” - otherwise known as bars - another mention of Edgefield County was found, Woody’s Bar and Grill located on Highway 25 south near Stephens Road. “#1 late night biker friendly bar. Open till sunrise - when you finish with the rest come enjoy the best!!!” the ad reads.

It seems Woody’s will be having to change their ad for the next edition as the Edgefield County Council will be holding a final reading at tonight’s monthly meeting on an ordinance to close all establishments that serve alcohol at 2 am. The ordinance will go into effect in August.
