There was a great article in The State newspaper today about some of the area Christmas light displays around Irmo, Columbia, and Lexington today. It just so happened that I was headed out this evening with the family to check out a few of the ones listed in the article. In this area, there really are some great activities to get you in the Holiday mood. Not only are there some great light displays, but some great events like the Vista Lights, which kicks off the season each November, and The Holiday Market, organized by the Junior League of Columbia as a fundraiser to allow them to support local charities in the Columbia SC area. My kids especially enjoyed seeing the lights tonight at the Saluda Shoals park and the homes on Hope Ferry Road. Total cost for entrance was 10.00 and it was a great way to spend a few hours ! Some popular area attractions include the Lights Before Christmas at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. This beloved annual event with nearly a million twinkling lights and more than 350 handcrafted images includes photos with Santa, Jingle Bell bonfire marshmallow roast and snow! It runs nightly from 6-9p.m. through Jan. 3 (closed Dec. 24, 25 & 31) and costs $8 or $6 for ages 3-12. Another attraction is the Saluda Shoals Holiday Light on the River and a special event called the Nights of Wonder which runs through Dec. 23 from 6-10p.m. Children can take part in a hayride, roast marshmellows, ride the train, slide down the Winter Wonder ride, and visit with Santa. Admission to the Lights on the River is $10 for cars with a nominal fee for the crafts and concessions. Home displays include several homes in the Hope Ferry Road neighborhood of Lexington SC; and 108 May Morning Drive in the Spring Lake subdivision. In the Harbison/St. Andrews area at 258 Piney Grove Road the display includes a nativity, Christmas trees, large inflatable Frosty, Mr. and Mrs. Claus and more. In Gaston at 5320 U.S. 321 there are more than 15,000 lights plus other decorations; and in Cayce/ West Columbia SC there are 3 elaborate displays, 1616 Pine St. (Twilight Manor); 509 Moss Creek Drive and 302 Hudson Street in West Columbia. The families decorating these homes are truly into the spirit of the holidays. runs throughDec. 23 from 6-10p.m. Search Columbia SC Homes For Sale

Here's another area update for you to take a look at. As usual, my source for all this great information is the great publication of the Lexington Chronicle. It has some great information this week that could impact your Lexington SC Home For Sale or Irmo SC Home For Sale. If you are buying a home in the Lexington SC or Irmo SC areas, I hope you find this information helpful ! $20.3 million in investments planned - Three companies plan to invest $20.3 million in Lexington County. The companies want the county to give them a 6% fee-in-lieu of taxes instead of the normal 10.5% industrial tax rate. Flextronics of America plans to invest $12 million in the Solectron Corp. complex in the Columbia SC Metro Airport Enterprise Park. The number of jobs this will create was not released. Flextronics designs, builds, ships and services electronics in 30 countries on four continents. Husqvarna Professional Products and Midway Logistics plan a $8.3 million investment, creating 33 new jobs here. Midway Logistics would lease Husqvarna a 176,400 square foot facility in the Lexington-Calhoun counties industrial park. They make forestry, lawn and garden and construction products. Lexington plans more parking downtown - Lexington Town Council voted to buy the old Lexington Interfaith Community Services property on North Church Street for future surface parking downtown. The town had set aside $2.3 million in 2007 for a parking structure to go along with a hotel, shops and restaurant that attorney Bert Dooley has been trying to finance. Monday the council voted to use $1.44 million to buy the North Church Street properties including the old LICS building in the former Liverman Hospital and use the remainder of the money to pave it for parking. $1 million for Chapin athletics - The Irmo-Chapin Recreation Commission wants to borrow $1.03 million to buy 30-40 acres for athletics in the Chapin area. The commission is retiring debt and would sell the bonds for a similar amount. This will not raise property taxes, sale Elizabeth Taylor of the Irmo-Chapin Recreation Commission. The commission has not yet identified the land. If we can buy it for less than the $1.03 million, we will use the remaining money for maintenance and repairs of the other facilities. County transit committee urged - County officials want government and business leaders to identify future public transportation needs. The public transit planning committee was recommended after the county held a transit summit at the Lexington Town Conference Center October 16. "Lexington County needs transit to address issues of growth, traffic congestion, economic development, air quality and quality of life," Lill Mood of Chapin wrote in a summary of the summit's findings for Lexington County Council. The summary included four recommendations: - County Council should appoint a committee of council members and citizens to explore solution.
- The committee would recommend to the council steps to take and means of accomplishing them.
- The committee would study Charleston County's methods of paying for public transit and road needs.
- The county should sustain the limited transit now serving the county.
48 unit senior complex planned for Lexington County - More senior housing is set to come to Lexington. Lexington Town Council gave initial approval Monday for a 48 unit senior apartment complex on Library Hill Lane behind the Lexington Library. Pebble Creek will offer apartments to anyone 55 years old or older, developers told council. An on-site beauty salon is also planned for the three story complex.

Homes in Kings Grant range in price from the mid 400's to over 1 million and range in size from about 2700 square feet to more than 6000 square feet.

Also close by you will find recreational opportunities, collegiate sports, cultural events, and educational opportunities.

I was glancing through The State this past week, knowing The State Fair was coming to town, and an article about "fair food" caught my eye. The State Fair is back, and now Columbia and Lexington county residents can indulge their taste buds with delicacies that you might only find here, and can worry about fat grams and cholesterol the other 50 weeks of the year! The article listed some of the good food that is bad for you and I thought some of them would be worth some extra press. These of course aren't all the food options you will find, but these are a great start! One of my favorites has always been the elephant ear, which made the is this year ! Check out all the traditional foods here ! Sweet Piggy is the name given to chocolate-covered bacon. It's new to our State Fair this year, but it's been showing up in fairgrounds around the country. It starts with a piece of cooked bacon, which is dipped into melted milk chocolate, refrigerated until it hardens then topped with a few sprinkles of powdered sugar. Hot and Fresh Mini Donuts, a long-time favorite, these sugar-and cinnamon-coated doughnuts come in a bag of 28. You can watch them being cooked in a conveyor belt before the sugary coating is added. This is the third year for Deep-fried Pepsi based dough. Corn-nana is also new this year, a battered and deep fried banana on a stick, covered in chocolate. It's eaten like a corn dog, with the same batter as Giant Corn Dogs stand. Deep-fried candy and cookies, vendor Jeremy Orme fries everything from Milky Way candy bars and Oreo cookies to cookie dough. His best-sellers are the fried Oreos, cookie dough, and Snickers. Cherry Bombs are cherries covered with chocolate, refrigerated and then covered in light, sweet batter before they are fried. Elephant ears are fried dough that you can cover with everything from powdered sugar and cinnamon to fruit toppings. Corn dogs along with elephant ears are the most popular food choices at the fair. A hot dog (or two or three) on a stick dipped in batter and deep fried to a crispy golden brown.

The agents were able to dodge the storms that had been around the area all week and had a great turn out and great weather for a productive day on the job. In attendance from the Lexington SC office were Bill McCarter, Rosie Jones, Sonia Roman, Sallie Chester, Lauren Porter Wilbert, Retta Whitehead, Karen Chandler, and Jim Bouleris. The agents all had a great time and a feeling of accomplishment was felt thoughout the group. After a morning of work on the house, the vinyl siding was well on it's way to being finished. This type of project is a great way for those who live and work in a community to give back with their time and energy. Check out our photos online at our facebook page. While you are there, become a fan ! What a great way to spend the day... working and learning with friends, plus giving back to the community. I think our success at EXIT REC is a testimony to the quality of our agents. Thanks to Retta and Craig for building such a great team. I am looking forward to many more great times! - Sonia Roman Working alongside my colleagues at Exit Real Estate Consultants and with the future homeowners of a Habitat for Humanity home was a great experience. We are in the business of helping people invest in real estate. Habitat for Humanity is a fantastic charity that helps less fortunate people do just that. I'm proud to be a part of a company that gives to Habitat for Humanity! - Sallie Chester I cannot tell you how much fun I had with you guys. I really think we have such a great team and I am glad we were able to put our team to use for a good cause today. I hope we have more opportunities like this in the future because I really learned a lot about my fellow agents. I really love being at Exit! - Rosie Jones What a Great Day spent with friends !! Exit REC has the best team out there and I am so happy to be part of it !! - Karen Chandler
