Hello, Electric City & Happy Wednesday!

Spring is starting to show off a little, Easter events are popping up all over the Upstate, and Anderson is rolling into a new week with plenty to talk about. From family egg hunts and farm fun to fresh local business buzz and helpful tools protecting homeowners, this week’s newsletter has a little bit of everything.

If you’re already thinking about bunny photos, candy-filled eggs, and planning out the next couple of weekends, you’re in the right place. We found real events worth adding to your calendar, including Easter fun in Anderson, Clemson, and Surrounding Areas. We’ve also got a new trivia question, a fresh tip of the day, and the weather outlook so you can plan around the sunshine while it lasts.

So grab your coffee, forward this to a friend who always asks “What’s going on around here?” and let’s get into this week’s Electric City Shoutouts.

☀️ Anderson, SC Weekly Weather Forecast

Upstate property owners now have a new line of defense against deed fraud thanks to a digital alert system launched by local officials.

The software tracks public records and notifies homeowners of any changes involving their property, helping identify suspicious or unauthorized activity fast.

Anderson’s coffee lovers will soon enjoy a fresh option as 7 Brew Coffee, a rapidly expanding national brand, announces plans for its first local spot.

The new drive-thru only coffee stand will be built at 2109 Highway 81 North, across from AnMed Health North Campus and between Culver’s and Zips Car Wash.

If your home, driveway, or business exterior needs a fresh, clean look, Yarbrough Pressure Washing has you covered.

They provide residential, commercial, and industrial pressure washing services, helping remove dirt, mold, grime, and buildup from a variety of surfaces.

Equipped with a professional hot water pressure washing unit, they’re able to tackle tough cleaning jobs and restore surfaces quickly and effectively. Whether it's siding, sidewalks, driveways, or commercial properties, their services help improve curb appeal and protect your property.

Supporting local businesses keeps our community strong, and Yarbrough Pressure Washing is proud to serve the Anderson area.

In what year did electricity first reach Anderson, helping the city earn its famous nickname?

Spring brings a burst of Easter excitement to Anderson and the surrounding communities, offering family-friendly celebrations for all ages.

Local favorites include the Easter Egg Hunt Fundraiser at The Locke Home, supporting the Cancer Association of Anderson with limited spots and over 2,000 hidden eggs.

Meet Grunt 

Looking for a loyal companion who just wants a cozy place to call home? Meet Grunt, Anderson County PAWS’ Dog of the Week… and trust us, this sweet senior deserves all the love. 

Grunt is around 8 years old and is the definition of a gentle soul. He’s incredibly affectionate with people, gets along well with other dogs, and would thrive in a calm, laid-back home where he can relax and feel safe.

He’s heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, and will be neutered before adoption-ready for his next chapter. Grunt may have a little hearing and vision impairment, which can make him a bit unsure at first, but once he realizes he’s in a safe space… his loving personality really shines through.

Senior dogs like Grunt don’t need much-just a warm bed, a little patience and someone to love them back. And in return? You get a loyal best friend.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, this might be your sign.

Stop by Anderson County PAWS and meet Grunt this week-you might just find your new best friend.

Tip of The Day

Start an Easter candy “decoy bag” now.

If you buy Easter candy early, hide a small separate stash for snacking and keep the main basket candy out of sight. It saves you from the classic “why are there only six jellybeans left?” problem when it’s finally time to fill eggs and baskets.

Spring returns to the Upstate, and Denver Downs Farm is getting ready to welcome families for its highly anticipated Easter events.

A Spring Flash Sale on tickets is open until March 19, giving locals an early chance to plan their holiday outing.

1895

Anderson’s “Electric City” nickname traces back to the arrival of electric power in 1895, when William C. Whitner’s work helped bring hydroelectric power to the city.
