North Pole Parade Day events at the Cayce-West Columbia Chamber attracted a multitude of children, parents and those gearing up for the Holiday Parade of lights.

“It has been a large and festive crowd all day,” said Christina Nelson, the Chambers director of operations. ” I love seeing everyone having such a great time. We could not have asked for a better day. It’s been beautiful and warm. And there are so many people here enjoying themselves . You can tell by all the smiles and the laughter, especially from the children.”

Customers lined up at Scratch-N-Spin Saturday buying vinyl records, movies, TV series on disc, action figures and 8-track tales and cassettes, Saturday. Woodard said the store can get any item you order, overnight.

Owner Eric Woodard was helping a Christmas rush as the Holiday Trolley stopped outside on 12th Street in Triangle City. The holiday trolley made the rounds through Cayce and West Columbia, where riders got off the trolley to shop, dine, and find out more about local businesses.

Anna Huffman and Justin Wise were at Trolley Stop 2 at the Meeting Street Artisan Market.
We’ve had a great crowd,” Huffman said. “There has been a steady flow of shoppers all day. The Trolley has dropped off the several visitors.”

Some of the trolley riders went to D’s Wings to grab a bite to eat after visiting the market. Owner Billy Rentz said the crowds were steady throughout the day.

Cynthia Grant, C-WC Chamber volunteer, was at State of the Art Art Gallery and Pottery Studio at 2007 State Street in Cayce, welcoming trolley visitors. Levi Wright and Barbara Wright were inside State of the Art and 2 Story Studios, across the street.

C-WC Chamber Volunteer Fletcher Smith was at Steel Hands Brewing at 2350 Foreman Street in Cayce. We’ve had a great turnout today. It’s been a nice, sunny day to see everyone coming in.
