Summerville Journal Scene
Still, with a festival this large, it pays to remember a few important things.
First, this is a dry festival – no alcohol is served or allowed.
Second, no pets are allowed.
More important, however, is what the festival does offer, notes YMCA Summerville’s Liz Graham. Not only is it a fun time, it is a safe time. There will be plenty of EMS, fire, and law enforcement personnel to ensure everyone has a good – and safe – time. First aid and police will be located in the Cuthbert Community Center next to the tennis courts, near First Citizen’s Bank, along Main Street and on Joyce Lane, near the Children’s Festival area.
Worried about such emergencies as sudden severe weather? Don’t be. Dorchester County has an emergency preparedness plan in place that specifically addresses such problems. More important, emergency personnel can safely evacuate everyone from the area within a half hour.
There are other important services available as well.
Coming back by popular demand for a second year is the mommy and baby rest area, she said. Sponsored by Summerville Medical Center and Mothers and More, the station is centrally located and is stocked with supplies such as diapers, wipes, and other necessities of baby’s life – not to mention a nice, shady place to rest from the excitement of the day.
The festival offers handicap parking/shuttle service as well, she said.
“Just use the parking garage,” Graham said. “The Y will have handicap transport shuttles available.”
