the river in Augusta in 1965, and he’s
been making the charts since then. Scott

entertainment at Piedmont Technical
College’s 17th annual

Reagan
Owens, daughter of Jack and Teresa Owens of
Newberry, enjoys a quiet moment with her
grandfather Gerry Owens at Piedmont Tech’s
17th annual Fourth of July Family
Fun Day. Gerry Owens originated the idea of
the Independence Day celebration as a way to
say “thanks” to the communities who
support the college.
It
was quite a moment for the proud and the brave
at Piedmont Technical College’s Fourth of
July Family Day. The flag raising officially
opened the 17th annual event.
