The Pickens Community Center’s newly renovated auditorium held its formal grand opening and ribbon cutting last Thursdays.

Dozens of Pickens senior citizens who worked diligently to get the old Hagood Elementary Auditorium renovated with countless hours of hard work were on hand for the event.

The auditorium will be a place for concerts, plays and many other events.
