About 10,000 ducks are expected Saturday at the Reedy River Duck Derby at Reedy River Falls. The event, originally was dubbed the Ken-Ducky Derby, because it is scheduled the same day as the Kentucky Derby. It has since changed its name to tie it more closely to Greenville.

Tippin is an 'average country boy' coming home to his roots
APR 19, 2012
There’s a divide in the Nashville country scene. On the one side are the Taylor Swifts of the world that for all their cuteness and accessibility appeal to a certain kind of modern crowd. On the other side are the New Traditionalists, the musicians that are trying to stay true to the roots of country.
But what is true country music? That’s a subjective question, and one that can only be answered by a voice of experience. One of those voices is Aaron Tippin, who is coming to the 29th Annual Village Hospital Greer Family Fest on Saturday, May 5.

Action Fest celebrates the history of the genre
APR 12, 2012
The United States has a love/hate relationship with the action film. Although the casual moviegoer will more often than not gravitate towards the big summer blockbuster, it’s usually under the pretense of “shutting off” the brain in order to enjoy the spectacle. That leads to a lack of respect and ultimate dismissal of the blood, sweat, and beers that went into crafting all 88 minutes of the action film that popped up in “suggestions for you” on the Netflix queue. Today through Sunday, Action Fest is hoping to remedy that.
Since 2010, Asheville, N.C., has hosted this festival showcasing the best in American and International action and celebrating the history of the genre. Co-founded by Aaron Norris (Chuck’s brother), Bill Banowsky (owner of the Carolina Asheville cinemas), educator Dennis Berman, and industry professional Tom Quinn, it also pays tribute to brave stuntmen, stuntwomen and 2nd unit directors.
