No pets during Apple events

The streets of Westminster will be crowded with people, but no pets this weekend for the 51st South Carolina Apple Festival

Westminster City Administrator David Smith is calling attention today to a new city ordinance that forbids visitors and vendors at the Apple Festival from bringing animals, such as pet dogs. For safety considerations, the city council passed such an ordinance and this year’s festival is the first one at which it’ll be enforced. Affected mainly are people’s pet dogs, but the ordinance applies to all animals. Earlier at another city event someone walked the streets with a snake wrapped around his neck.
