Miss Easley 2008, Ambra Yarbrough, Miss Easley Teen 2008, Amanda Parker and Miss South Carolina 2008, Crystal Garrett, were there throughout the day to meet the 22 team players and take photographs. The golf tournament was also a business expo with a different business represented at each hole.

“I have played in many golf tournaments. This was as fun and as relaxing a day as I have ever had playing golf. I liked meeting the business sponsors on the holes. It did not slow play,” stated Scott Buckhiester of Dunburks Premier Events. “The chamber’s planning and execution of the event was well done. Keep up the good work!”
