The 2014 edition of the So-Cool Summer Program in Cherokee County has come to a close with a special “Patriotic Program” taking place at the National Guard Armory in Centre.

Revenue Commissioner and Rotary Club Member Johnny Roberts tells us more:

For more than 20 years this popular initiative has offered children an opportunity to have fun and to learn – through a wide variety of activities.

Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Theresa Hulgan:

So-Cool Coordinator Nancy Steed gave us some background on the beginnings of the program:

A number of surrounding communities have used the Cherokee County program as a model for and in many cases, a blueprint, for similar programs to be instituted in their areas

We’ll leave it to two of the So Cool Summer Program regulars to sum things up – we spoke with Savannah and Andrea about what they like about attending:

The So Cool Summer Program is funded by the Centre Rotary Club, and is supported by the City of Centre and the Cherokee County Commission.
