The Town of Salley Police Department will enforce the new Ordinance with a zero tolerance.
Letter from the Mayor:
The Mayor of Salley and the Salley Town Council invite you to browse through our web site in order to learn about our festival known as the Chitlin Strut. You are also invited to our Golden Anniversary of this year's event.

50th Annual Chitlin Strut
Salley, South Carolina

In 1975, I went to the Clemson "Chittlin Festival".
I had no idea you could do so much with innards.
Actually, the Chitlin Strut is held at Salley,SC. 163 miles from Clemson.
