This one-day arts and crafts festival features artists, craftspeople, special store-wide and sidewalk sales, food vendors, children’s activities, and entertainment throughout the day offers something for everyone. See You All There!
Chamber Insider News
FREE On-Site COVID-19 Vaccinations
For Business & Industry Employees, Their Families, and Customers
DHEC and the SC Department of Education have partnered to provide FREE on-site vaccinations for Business and Industry employees, their families, and if they wish, their customers. They will work with businesses to accommodate multiple work shifts. For a retail business, they provide a unit in the parking lot, if you prefer. It is essential that participating businesses let people know that they will be there to provide the vaccines. So, the event must be promoted.
The vaccines would be administered by nurses or techs that are certified to provide the vaccine, and typically we have had all 3 vaccines available. A second day can be scheduled one month later for people to come back to get their second shot (if they received a 2-dose vaccine).
Contact LaDonna Ryggs at 864-906-5574 or email her at ladonnaryggs@gmail.com to discuss scheduling an on-site vaccination event.

September City Notes
The Inman Community is excited to see that the Spartanburg County Library system has begun activity for the new Inman branch. On August 19th Todd Stephens and the Library Board of Trustees hosted a wonderful groundbreaking ceremony. Head Librarian Todd Stephens spoke to the guests about the importance of the Inman branch and the strong history the library has in the City.
City Hall continues to see tremendous activity in the area of new house permits, business licenses, and inquiries about available commercial property. If you know any commercial property that is either sale or lease, please let City Hall know. We are always excited to connect buyers and sellers.
If you are a business owner in the downtown (Central Business District), please be on the lookout for a Notice of Road Closures for our Special Events: Cartoberfest on October 9th and Boo on Mill on October 30th. This letter is also available on our City website under Cartoberfest information. We thank you in advance for your support of these events.
Finally, we continue to look for new city staff. We have two open positions listed on the city website. Zoning Administrator and Economic Development Managers are both 20 hours a week jobs. These positions will be vital to our success and growth. www.cityofinman.com/employment.php
