On Friday March 27, 2009, Lander University students will be participating in a county wide celebration of Greenwood’s vast history in the manufacturing of textiles. The Greenwood Textile Appreciation Festival began in 1999 after the idea came to creator Douglas L. Menard in a dream. The Opening ceremony will be held at 8 a.m. in the downtown district near the fountain. There will be food, live musical performances, and many arts and crafts tables to show off the local talents. At 2 p.m., for all who wish to participate, there will be the annual mile race which is traditionally performed pantless. This has been a staple in previous textile celebrations, allowing the Greenwood community the opportunity to publicly display their favorite cotton underwear garments. At 5p.m., there will be a closing ceremony at which time awards will be given in the categories of food and art, and the winner of the pantless race will receive the coveted Golden Undies. These events are open to adults and children of all ages, so bring the kids.

BAMBI VISITS LANDER
On Sunday March 15, 2009, a deer ran through the front entrance of the Jackson Library at Lander University. Several students were outside when they saw the deer quickly approaching them. Startled, the students ran back into the library, but the deer was persistent and crashed through a window gaining entrance into the library. However, after breaking through the thick glass, the deer was too stunned to continue and quietly left. The deer was unavailable for questioning.
Veronica Fuller, a student worker at the Jackson Library and senior class(wo)man, frantically called the Lander University Police Department (LUPD). The officer arrived on the scene promptly, and though the officer was unavailable for an interview, he did confirm that deer hair and blood was found. Although the deer’s motives are unclear, the Lander Farce will continue investigations of the account until the deer itself is properly handled and served at breakfast as sausage and/or country fried steak.
