TRAVELERS REST, S.C. — Travelers Rest recently was ranked  among the 15 Best U.S. Small Towns for a Summer Vacation by Travel + Leisure magazine, but the Daily Planet in its June 19 edition was unable to reach TR Mayor Brandy Amidon for a statement.

However, the mayor responded to the Daily Planet with a statement on TR’s recognition on June 21 as follows:

“What a lovely accolade to showcase years of hard work from our city government, residents and business owners. 

“Travelers Rest has always been a place of restfulness, hospitality and beauty. 

“And we’ve worked hard over the years to exhibit those small town values in every project and event in our community. 

“Glad those visiting feel the same way!”
