A house RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE HARTSVILLE'S GOSPEL IN THE PARK SERIES ON THE OCCASION OF ITS TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY AND TO WISH ITS STAFF AND SPONSORS MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE YEARS TO COME.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Hartsville's Gospel in the Park Series is celebrating its twentieth anniversary in 2026. Founded by the late Loretta B. Richardson and Barbara Carraway of Hartsville, the series is based in Hartsville and held at Pride Park. The nonprofit organization is dedicated to promoting community engagement through gospel music events. The series provides a platform for local artists and fosters a sense of unity and celebration within the community. Series events aim to uplift and inspire attendees through live performances and fellowship; and

 

Whereas, this six-month free concert series begins in May (this year, Sunday, May 3) and concludes in October. Under the theme "Bringing Unity Into Our Community," the series features gospel entertainment and praising God through songs, along with a devotional service by community pastors. In May, Mother's Day is recognized, June emphasizes Men's Health Month and Father's Day, and July is all about summer days. August brings a back-to-school rally with school supplies. September focuses on Grandparents Day and Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, while October looks at Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence Awareness Month; and

 

Whereas, Gospel in the Park is always held on the second Sunday of the month, except for May and October events, which are scheduled for the first Sunday. All are welcome to attend series events from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.; and

 

Whereas, in addition, attendees enjoy mini health fairs, various vendors, and more, as well as amenities such as a picnic shelter, playground, and restrooms, all available at Pride Park, which now boasts a new stage; and

 

Whereas, the House takes great pleasure in encouraging all citizens of this great State to patronize and enjoy the Gospel in the Park Series. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Hartsville's Gospel in the Park Series on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary and wish its staff and sponsors much continued success in the years to come.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Gospel in the Park Series.
