Hartsville and surrounding areas are in for a treat on Sept. 10, as Duke Energy Progress sponsors POWERfest, a community fall festival that will feature the region’s first gourmet food truck rodeo.
The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Coker Avenue in Hartsville, and is free to the public.
“We’re excited that Duke Energy has decided to bring this event to Hartsville,” Hartsville City Manager Natalie Zeigler said. “We look forward to this becoming an annual tradition.”
The calling card for the event is a food truck rodeo. More than six food truck chefs from across the state promises there will be something for everyone. The Wurst Wagon, Carolina Cookin', Scott Benny's, The Beast, Wolf Pizza Co., and Cupside Down Café will be serving a one-of-a-kind culinary experience. There will also be plenty of sweet treats, including the refreshing coolness of Kona Ice.
There’s more to POWERfest than food, as organizers have worked hard to ensure the event has something for every age and interest.
DJ Dan E. Lockemy will provide the music for most of the event, before giving the stage to ‘80s cover band Retro Vertigo. A student band from the Governor’s School for Science and Math will be the opening act. Dance troupes from the local area will also be showing off their skills.
Children will have plenty of entertainment options at POWERfest. There will be carnival style rides, games with prizes, and inflatables. All of the rides are free of charge. In addition, kids can get hands-on with a petting zoo and a touch-a-truck exhibit that features fire trucks, police vehicles and Duke Energy bucket trucks.
For adults, there will be a wide variety of vendors, showcasing arts and crafts, artisanal creations, clothing and much more. One of the more unique vendors is Sweet Southern Sassyfrass’s Trendy Traveling Boutique, which offers a retail experience that everyone needs to try.
There will also be several noteworthy causes in attendance, including the Marcus Lattimore Foundation and information booths by Duke Energy. Robinson Nuclear Plant employees will teach children about nuclear energy and electricity through interactive demonstrations. There will be a booth for adults as well with information about nuclear energy, tips for saving money on your energy bill, and other pertinent information.
“We wanted to create an event that really has something for everyone,” said Duke Energy spokesperson Charles Ellison. “From unique eats to interesting vendors to free rides for the kids, our goal was to create a fun atmosphere.”
