Thirty-six years ago the Pilot Club of Aynor, South Carolina, needed funds for community projects. Doris Koon, a club member, suggested having a festival and the Aynor Harvest Hoe-Down Festival was bom. The first year in September, 1979, the welcome speech was given to about 1,000 people from the back of a large truck. The welcome speech is now given from a stage under the Aynor Town Park shelter to a crowd of 22,000 - 26,000 people.

A week later on the third Saturday in September, the Aynor Harvest Hoe-Down Festival begins with a Parade at 10:00 AM with a Grand Marshall, antique tractors and cars, many Shrine units, local bands, ROTC units, mascots. Queens, and several floats.
