🏈🧡🖤 FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS ARE BACK! 🖤🧡🏈

There’s just something special about Friday Night Lights — the packed stands, the band playing, cheerleaders cheering, families and friends filling the stadium, and a community coming together to support our Tigers! 🐯

Tonight marks the first HOME GAME of the season, and from all of us at the Olney & the Greater Richland County Chamber of Commerce, we’re wishing our Tigers the very best of luck!

Play hard, play together, and make Olney proud!

🐯 GO TIGERS! CRUSH THE SALEM WILDCATS! 🐯
🧡🖤 We’re ALL IN for our Tigers! 🖤🧡

🐾 Happy National Dog Day, Richland County! 🐾

Today we’re celebrating our four-legged friends — and the wonderful people and organizations throughout our community who work hard to keep those tails wagging! ❤️🐶

We’re especially thankful for:

🐾 MVS - Mackenzie's Veterinary Services — caring for the health and well-being of our pets.

🐾 Claws and Paws Animal Rescue — working tirelessly to rescue, care for, and find loving homes for animals in need.

🐾 Shelter Friends — helping provide much-needed spay and neuter services for furry friends in need and making a difference in our local animal population. ❤️

🐾 Richland County Animal Control — caring for, protecting, and helping animals throughout our community.

🐾 JoLilies Critter Lodge — giving our furry family members a safe and caring place to stay.

🐾 Rock Pupper Scissors — helping our pups look and feel their best!

🐾 Pawsitive Pet Perfection — providing our four-legged friends with care and plenty of TLC.

And a BIG thank you to all of the pet sitters, dog walkers, groomers, rescue volunteers, foster families, veterinary professionals, shelter workers, and everyday animal lovers who help care for the pets of our community. 🐕🐾

Our pets are family, and we’re fortunate to have so many wonderful people throughout Richland County looking out for them! ❤️

📸 Pictured are Chamber Director Caiti’s two precious pups — Clementine, a Blue Heeler, and Ellie, a Goldendoodle! 🐾💕 They’re just two of the many four-legged family members who make our lives a little happier (and probably a little hairier!) every day. 🐶

Now show us your pups! Celebrate National Dog Day by dropping a picture of your four-legged family member in the comments! 🐕📸❤️
