Industry Tree Lights Up at Chamber/Visitors' Center

Flowertown in the Pines is showing off its goods on the pine with its annual Industry Tree, which showcases manufactured goods on a Christmas tree.

The tree was unvelied last week, and is available for viewing in the lobby of the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors' Center at 402 N. Main St. It will continue to be on display throughout the month of December.

Four years in the making, this holiday tradition serves as a fun and creative way to display products that are made right here in Dorchester County.  Each year, industries are asked to provide “ornaments” to best represent the goods that they manufacture. Decorated with sparkling white lights, the tree is complete with company logos and a variety of unique “ornaments.”  Larger models, products, and replicas are displayed as presents beneath the tree.

"Decorating this tree each year has become a well-loved tradition for our industries.  It not only provides them with an opportunity to show pride in what they do, but it also offers a unique marketing opportunity for their business,” said Wendy Smith, existing industry manager of Dorchester County Economic Development.
