Join Us At Fall Fest

SSCHS will be at Fall Fest, November 5 at Bell Park in Greenwood. Please stop by our booth while you're enjoying the activities and beautiful fall weather. Look for our big banner. We'll be selling Key Magazines, various books of local interest, Old Jail t-shirts and notecards designed by local artists Glenda Wallace and Martha Efurd.
The star of our show, however, will be miner Charlie McNabb (portrayed by Charles Efurd). Efurd will relate the story of Charlie's search for gold right there in Bell Park. Charlie acquired a map from a Native American showing the location of the treasure, reportedly buried by early tribesmen in order to hide the treasure from the approaching explorer LaSalle. Come out and hear this fascinating true tale as only Charles Efurd can tell it.

Buried Treasure was Pure Gold!
