Now you Know...The
answer to last week's question was 2 horse wagons. Richland County
School District first provided transportation in 1918 with these
horse drawn wagons ! Jessie W. from Bethel-Hanberry was again the
first to answer the question! Thanks to all the people who
wrote in with answers!
Did you Know..The 2014
graduating classes of Blythewood High, Westwood High and RidgeView
High School had over 900 students collectively! Guess what
the 1990 U.S. Census was for the number of people living in the
Blythewood Town limits. That was only 24 years ago! We've come a
long way, baby!
Congratulations to all the High School and
College graduates in Blythewood! You did it!
