One Blythewood business reported bringing in over $10,000 more than usual during the weekend. A church in Winnsboro brought in $16,000 from the big sale.
Travelers checked in from states across the country as well as Ontario, Canada. They dined at town restaurants, stayed at town hotels and shopped town merchants and roadside vendors.
