South Carolina Word Search
South Carolina stretches from sandy barrier islands up to the Blue Ridge Mountains in its northwest corner. The state grows more peaches than any other in the South, and its palmetto tree earned a place on the flag after palmetto logs absorbed British cannonballs during a 1776 battle. Good material for an afternoon at the table.
