The South Mountain Partnership will hold the 14th Annual Power Of The Partnership Celebration on September 27 in Waynesboro, Franklin County from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

With more than 100 people in attendance the event celebrates the people and groups protecting and promoting this wonderful place that we all call home – the farms and farmland, historic places, vibrant communities and downtowns, water and air quality, wildlife and habitat, and parks, trails, and open spaces.

They take pride in making this event a fun, tasty, and meaningful program you won’t want to miss.

Visit interesting and beautiful downtown Waynesboro which has been experiencing a renaissance thanks to local support and the Mainstreet Waynesboro Program.

Registration includes networking, full local lunch produced by the Chef at Summer Creek Catering, and entrance to the celebration program: inspirational panel discussion and presenters, grant awards, and an opportunity to connect and celebrate with friends and colleagues new and old.
