Virtual Fun in Florence County 📱🧩💻

August 6, 2020

Absolutely no one asked for a pandemic, but at least we live in a time with the Internet! The ability to connect online creates a wealth of options for local businesses to engage and interact with people without having to worry about social distancing, even if the in-store option might still be available.

We hope you enjoy these puzzles we've been creating which feature local businesses and safe outdoor activities. We are also sharing virtual activities as they pop up.

Happy puzzling, and stay safe out there!
