Clarendon Habitat for Humanity President Cleve Dowell accepts a $2,000 check from Burgess Sprott, representing The Puddin’ Swamp Singers. The well-known singing group has been a long time supporter of the local housing ministry and made the presentation at the Jan. 4 Habitat Author Luncheon.		Who doesn’t love a parade? Certainly not the kids at Manning Early Childhood Center, where they celebrated American Education week with a “Storybook Parade.” Chilly temperatures could keep neither kids from marching around the school property in celebration of their favorite characters nor parents from taking time from their busy schedules to form an appreciative audience.

When Carl Gamble of C&A Carpet was hired to re-carpet the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce offices in downtown Manning, he knew just the thing to add a unique touch to their entry way. Gamble contacted Summerton tile artists, Anna and Rick Holmes, of A2B Tile Services, who designed and installed this one-of-a-kind floor mosaic to welcome visitors to the Chamber. Pictures can’t do this artwork justice ... drop by and see for yourself!
