  Town of Edgefield to Host Community Celebration and Idea Exchange web posted September 30, 2009 EDGEFIELD – Join the Town of Edgefield and become a piece of the puzzle! On Tuesday, October 20th, Mayor Ken Durham and the Town Council invite you to join them for a chance to celebrate the successes of Edgefield while sharing your hopes for the community. The evening will take place at the Old Kendall Mill from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm. To kick off the evening, the town will host a reception that will allow citizens to visit with their neighbors, shake hands with old friends, and enjoy the beauty of the Old Kendall Mill. At 7:00 pm, there will be a brief welcome and introduction by Mayor Ken Durham and other community leaders. This will be followed by a 30 minute facilitated brainstorming session. The session will call upon all community members to share their ideas for the future of the Town of Edgefield. Mayor Ken Durham stated, "For sometime I have wanted to pull the community together where ideas can be freely exchanged within a festive, very informal environment. The goal of this event will be solely to identify positive, proactive ideas from those in attendance that will direct the mayor and council in a direction that will move our community in a positive direction.” Durham added, “I firmly believe that if we are not moving in a forward direction then we are falling behind. There is no such thing as standing still!" All citizens that attend will be asked to share their ideas. For those citizens that don’t want to speak up but still want to have a voice, there will be puzzle pieces available where suggestions will be taken. The South Carolina National Heritage Corridor trained facilitators will be on hand to lead the discussion of the community. Following the session, facilitators and community leaders will come together to prioritize the projects and assess feasibility. A future (more formal) community planning workshop will be held as a follow up to this celebration. Be sure to share your voice and be a part of the puzzle that makes Edgefield a great place to live, work and play! Join the Town of Edgefield on October 20th. © Copyright 2009
