“Oh the weather outside is frightful” but the discounts at the South Carolina State Museum will be “so delightful” for all current state employees on Monday, Dec. 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“Just in time for the holidays, all South Carolina state employees will receive a 10 per cent discount off all purchases at the museum store, the Cotton Mill Exchange, and at the Crescent Café,” said Director of Revenue Scottie Ash.
Looking for unique gifts that you can’t find anywhere else? Then the Cotton Mill Exchange is the place for you. Educational toys for inquisitive children abound along with the most delightful selection of stuffed animals and clothing for your special Palmetto children and grandchildren.
“We have the largest selection of items with the Palmetto symbol in the state. So if you're looking for jewelry, neckties, glassware, shirts, caps and jackets with the Palmetto we’ve got it,” added Ash. “And don’t forget about books. We have a large number of books ranging from cookbooks, natural history, art and, of course, lots of history books. We have many people buying copies of Dr. Walter Edgar’s new South Carolina Encyclopedia for presents. It’s a great book and will be enjoyed by all members of the family.”
Shoppers needing a break can stop by the Crescent Café for a great light lunch or a cup of coffee. "And don’t forget to take home some of the museum’s own special fudge. It's fresh, made on-site and comes in a variety of delicious flavors," said Ash. The 10 percent discount also applies to all purchases in the Crescent Café.
To receive the discount, State Employees need only bring their state agency i.d. There is no admission charge to enter the Cotton Mill Exchange or the Crescent Café.
Museum members who are state employees will receive a 20 per cent discount on all purchases. The museum membership card must be presented along with the employee's state agency i.d.
