The Wagons to Wagener festival was held last weekend in Wagener.
The annual festival celebrates the wagon wheel and its importance to the farmers in the early days of agriculture in the South Carolina Midlands.
Vendors set up for the festival on Friday and began serving sausage dogs, loaded fries, barbecue and more by sundown.
Beer was available, courtesy of Budweiser.
A beauty contest was held Friday night at Wagener-Salley High School.
The Palmetto Groove Party Band provided music under the town pavilion as residents set up lawn chairs and gathered around to dance, eat boiled peanuts and talk.
The bounce houses and petting zoo kept the children entertained, and the evening was finished with a fireworks display.
Kim Nisbet, of Backwoods Barnyard, provided the petting zoo.
All of the animals of Backwoods Barnyard are miniatures, including miniature cattle.
Stephone Way, of Way's Cafe in Wagener, set up his food truck with his specialty, South Carolina barbecue.
The other South Carolina staple - boiled peanuts - was provided by Joseph Davis, of Pelion.
The parade was held at 11 a.m. Saturday and included the famous wagon and a few fire trucks.
A talent show and car and bike show were held after the parade.
The South Carolina Department of Mental Health had a table at the festival worked by Cynthia Dowda and Cindy Smith, who work with the Peer Support program.
The Aiken-Barnwell Peer Support program, the pilot program, currently the top in the state, is designed to empower and advocate for those with mental illness. The program seeks to break the stigma of mental illness.
"I'm not an illness," Dowda said, "I'm a person." S.C. Department of Mental Health also offers a school-based program to help students with mental illness by providing services without interrupting school schedules.
This also provides for those who have no transportation for treatment.
