🎃 We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we navigated the recent change for this year’s Candy Crawl.🧡 🍬This year looks a little different, most treats will be handed out at The Lee Chamber to ensure a safe and fun experience while construction continues for the new downtown lighting project. Be sure to stop in the other two stops on the map, they'll be ready to see you!👻 Next year we’ll be back to strolling the sidewalks and visiting our favorite shops and offices for treats.✨

🚧🎃 Candy Crawl Reminder! 🍬 💡IMPORTANT: For everyone’s safety, this year’s Candy Crawl (Oct. 31, 5–6:30 PM) will look a little different. As we told everyone last week, Duke Energy let us know that they will be doing construction downtown as part of the new lighting project. To keep everyone safe we're shifting the location to hand out treats. All Candy Crawl participants between who registered as handing out treats between Church St. and Cedar Ln will now be set up on the Chamber lawn. 👉DELAY: Due to the location change, businesses need time to decide if participation is still feasible based on their operations and ability to move to the new setup area. This adjustment has created a brief delay in finalizing and releasing the participant list. Thanks for helping us keep this a safe and fun event for everyone! 💛 ‼NOTICE: If you registered to hand out treats at a location between Church and Cedar and have not confirmed that you will move to the Chamber lawn for the event, please do so by calling 803-483-2800 before close of business tomorrow. We cannot include you on the list without confirming you'll participate at the Chamber lawn. We called everyone affected last week but have not gotten confirmation from several.

In honor of City Mart being the sponsor for this week's Athlete of the Week, we’re excited to share some great news: City Mart is launching the“10 for Tomorrow” program! They're giving 10% of Tuesday food sales profits to support our local schools. 🍔📚 Their continued generosity and commitment to Lee County shows exactly what community leadership looks like. From supporting our students to strengthening local partnerships, City Mart keeps finding ways to make a difference. 💙 At the Chamber, we’re so happy to help facilitate the kind of connections and partnerships that make initiatives like this possible for our members. Visit theleechamber.com to learn more about how you can become a member of The Lee Chamber.

🚧🎃 Candy Crawl Reminder! 🍬 For everyone’s safety, this year’s Candy Crawl (Oct. 31, 5–6:30 PM) will look a little different. As we told everyone last week, Duke Energy let us know that they will be doing construction downtown as part of the new lighting project. 💡 To keep everyone safe we're shifting a bit this year. 👉All Candy Crawl participants between Church St. and Cedar Lane will now be set up on the Chamber lawn. 🍬Trick-or-treaters - you’ll find lots of your favorite stops there! 👻We do have one registered participant outside the construction area - Taylor’s Market - so be sure to swing by and visit them too! 🎃 Thanks for helping us keep this a safe and fun event for everyone! 💛 If you have questions, feel free to reach out to 803-483-2800 or contact@theleechamber.com

Important: Candy Crawl change for some downtown businesses. 🍬We’ve made the decision to relocate Candy Crawl stop locations for the businesses in the two-block downtown area between Church Street and Cedar Lane for this year's event. Participant businesses located in the area between Church & Cedar will now set up on the Chamber lawn. This change has been made to ensure everyone’s safety during construction related to the lighting improvement project. 👻Businesses located outside of the construction area may still participate from their own locations or are also still welcome to join us on the Chamber lawn if they prefer (specify "the Chamber" as the location on the registration form). 👉 Whether you’ll be set up at the Chamber or plan to participate outside of the construction area, you still need to register using the form at theleechamber.com before 5pm on October23rd. This helps us ensure every participating business has a safe, organized space and that accurate information is shared with trick-or-treaters. ‼️For safety reasons, businesses within the construction area who do not relocate to the Chamber lawn cannot be included as part of the event. We’re working to directly contact those affected who have already registered for the event. If you have questions, feel free to call us at 803-483-2800 or email contact@theleechamber.com

🍬Don't forget to bring your lil ghouls and goblins downtown for The Chamber's Candy Crawl👻 It's always a great time!

Here is the list of those confirmed as of 10/20 2PM for the 2025 Candy Crawl. If you're not already but would like to be included on the free map, all you have to do is visit theleechamber.com and complete the form that is linked on the homepage before Oct 23 at 5pm. This event is open to ALL businesses/organizations to participate-you DO NOT have to be a Chamber member to be included on the map. If your business/organization is located outside of downtown Bishopville and you'd like to participate in the Candy Crawl, let us know so we can make a spot for you. If you have questions about registration, give us a call at 803-483-2800 or email contact@theleechamber.com

🎄 Holidays on Main: A Hometown Christmas 🎄 Yes, we know it’s early… but some things are worth the extra time to prepare for! This year’s Holidays on Main will take place on December 13th, and our 2025 theme is: “A Hometown Christmas.” This theme is all about bringing the focus back home — celebrating the people, places, and shared moments that make our community special. From our charming Main Street to the neighbors who make it shine, A Hometown Christmas invites everyone to gather, connect, and create memories right here in the heart of our town. By announcing now, we’re giving local businesses, schools, churches, and community groups time to dream up floats, decorations, and performances that reflect the warmth and pride of our hometown. We’re also seeking partners who can help fill the day with festive fun — whether you provide games, activities, entertainment, or event equipment that brings people together, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to us at contact@theleechamber.com or 803-483-2800. Let’s make Main Street a place to explore, play, and enjoy from morning till parade time. ✨ Mark your calendars, start planning your entries, and let’s make this the most magical Holidays on Main yet! ✨

Don't miss this member event on August 7th hosted by our Member Relations committee. Committee Chair Erika Williams will share some valuable about The Chamber and your membership📌

📣Duke Energy and county officials to test sirens around Robinson Nuclear Plant on July 9, 2025 Five- to 30-second quarterly test scheduled between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 9 No public action required HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The 59 outdoor warning sirens around the Robinson Nuclear Plant will be tested for five to 30 seconds between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday July 9, 2025, as scheduled. To ensure they are functioning properly, it may be necessary to test some sirens more than once. Follow-up testing after siren maintenance may be required. Testing is performed in cooperation with emergency management officials in Chesterfield, Darlington and Lee counties, who are responsible for sounding the sirens. Because this is a test, local broadcasting stations will not interrupt regular programming to broadcast Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages. If there was ever a real emergency at the plant requiring the sirens to be sounded, local radio and television stations would broadcast information and instructions to the public. For more information about the outdoor warning sirens, residents can refer to information available at duke-energy.com/NuclearEP.

Our Member Interests Committee is hosting a meeting for all Chamber members on Thursday, August 7th at 5-6:30pm. Join the committee at the City/County building on Main Street where Committee Chair Erika Williams will share Chamber updates, plans going forward, and how you can maximize your Chamber benefits.
