Well-known Landrum residents will take 30-minute stints in a dunking booth, and the S. C. National Guard game truck will appeal to video gamers of all ages.

 

The Well’s Summer Sizzle again will offer free hot dogs and drinks starting at 5:00 p.m. In the same area will be free rides for children and adults, thanks to funding by the City of Landrum.
