Aiken voters approved Sunday sales of alcoholic beverages in 2002 after a coordinated effort by restaurant owners led by Sam Erb and Tina McCarthy with campaign support. Augusta recently followed suit and Columbia County weighs similar action as Augusta’s example serves as a blueprint.

Aiken area families joined two back to school events on Saturday led by Maurice Wallace of Spine Doctors of Aiken at USC Aiken. The carnival offered free haircuts manicures bounce houses and free school supplies from vendors including Aiken Gymnastics the Sheriff’s Department and Family Pharmacy. Wallace called the event a one stop shop and said the turnout despite morning thunderstorms was strong with many families expressing happiness at the community gathering.
