BLYTHEWOOD/FAIRFIELD – With a name like “The Big Grab,” one would have to imagine the event has considerable scope. After all, the word “Big” is right there in the name of the event.
Vendors will troll roadsides Fri., Sept 9, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Sat, Sept 10, 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. The shopping crawl is a figure 8 loop that extends up Hwy 21 from Blythewood to Ridgeway, then along Highway 34 to Winnsboro where vendors will be set up along the Highway 321 Bypass, Highway 200 and through downtown Winnsboro back to the Bypass and back to Blythewood via Hwy 321 to Cedar Creek and then to Blythewood Road and down Hwy 21 to Fairlawn UMC.
The event has also been a boom to local churches, who have capitalized on The Big Grab as a major annual fundraiser – not only selling their own wares, but also renting out prime selling space to vendors.
Vendors will trickle into the area early, setting up Thursday evening so they will be ready for the first light of dawn on Friday.
