24: Giving Back Through Holiday Magic with the Junior League of Columbia

In this episode of Explore Lake Murray Country, host Kelly Hughes sits down with Allison Horne, Co-Chair of the Junior League of Columbia Holiday Market, and Casey Pash, President of the Junior League of Columbia (JLC). They chat about how this beloved Columbia holiday tradition brings people together every December—and how it powers JLC’s mission to support women’s leadership and improve the lives of children and families across the Midlands. Allison and Casey pull back the curtain on what it takes to plan the Market, what’s new this year (think gift wrapping and more than 100 unique merchants!), and how the event helps fund hands-on service projects and training opportunities for hundreds of local volunteers. Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at one of South Carolina’s favorite holiday events—and discover how every ticket sold helps make a real difference in the community.
