WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
Scurrying Employees
If you haven't noticed, we take July 4th very seriously. Not only is it our Nation's birthday, but it is Tega Cay's, too! We are turning 34 this year! And do we have one heck of a party planned. Parades (PLURAL!), water fun, cake, fireworks... It's an all day-er. With thousands of residents and visitors coming into the City to celebrate, our yellow-shirted Public Works heroes have been working their (well you know) off to make sure the City is looking it's best. They've been trimming trees, mulching, hanging banners, landscaping the fountain and much more. Mayor Sheppard, along with our Parks & Rec Director Joey Blethen, and the Community Relations Crew have been planning, organizing and finalizing every last detail to make the day special. If we haven't said it before (well actually I think we did last week)...It is our opinion if you haven't experienced July 4th in Tega Cay, you haven't experienced July 4th. Check out any or all of the events on Monday!

Another New Business comes to the TC!
Guess who got their Business License this week.... THESE LADIES! Caution: check out their website when you are alone. It's been known to cause drooling.
