Clemson prepares for return of students

The quiet that is Clemson in summer will soon pass. The city and the university are preparing for the annual return of the students. The Welcome Back Festival is planned for Monday, August 18, which means part of the main thoroughfare will close for part of that evening. Affected will be College Avenue, from Keith Street to highway 93 from 4:45 to 9 p-m on the 18th. And, by 4:30 that afternoon, all cars should be removed from that section of College Avenue.
