Best of ETV Road Show- Pee Dee (Florence, Dillon and Chesterfield)







Today we headed to Dillon and met up with Johnnie Luehrs. She is the director of the Dillon County Chamber and was one of the key people in the community to help us set up and execute the Road Show back in 2004.






We also went to Cheraw to visit the hometown of Dizzy Gillespie…a man, even through all his world travels, never forgot where he came from.










Known as the "City of Character", Florence is a community that has transformed throughout the years. Florence has a rich history and we learn about its renaissance spirit.



Another spot on the map, Chesterfield is considered the heart of the Carolinas. We stopped by to visit the vibrant downtown area and the community's beautiful tree-lined streets.
