Highlighting azaleas and other annual festivals

"It's like a street carnival without all the rides," says Rick. "There's always a big turnout, and it's nice how the whole community comes together like one big family reunion." The Azalea Festival is just one of many events held throughout the year, along with music festivals and holiday parades.
