Celebrate Christmas in July by thinking about your donations for this year’s Cops for Tots initiative. The program is organized by the Greer Police Department and helps make sure all children have gifts for Christmas. Mark your calendar for the first fundraiser at Chick-Fil-A on November 2, and remember you can always drop off new, unwrapped toys or monetary donations to Cops for Tots at the Police Department.

A heads up for anyone visiting City Hall tomorrow: the parking lot entrance from E Poinsett St.(side with roundabout entrance) will be closed for the majority of the day. Public Services will have a crane parked there removing a tree limb that has fallen near the train tracks. That side of the parking lot will reopen as soon as the crew can remove the limb. Please plan on using the Line St. side entrance for parking until the limb has been removed.

Yesterday, Camp Greer kids got to experience their very own car auction! The “auction” took place at the Needmore Recreational Center and was a fun way for the kids to see some cool cars and go frantic with fake money. The cars included: a Greer Police Department car, the Greenville Triumph car, a City of Greer Parks, Recreation & Tourism car and the Rugrats Reptar mobile (definitely the best option.)

Just a heads up for anyone heading to City Park tomorrow: the swing arbors will be repaired starting tomorrow morning at around 7:30 AM. During the repair, there will be barricades blocking off the entire area. These barricades will begin on each side of the smaller fountain and wrap around the backside of the swing arbor and along the brick wall behind the arbor. You will still be able to access the sidewalk to walk around the fountain and swing arbor (you just won't be able to walk through the middle.) We will keep you updated and let you know when the swing arbor repairs are finished!
