A community-wide event designed to connect residents with local organizations, businesses, and services is set for Saturday, May 30, in downtown Summerville.

Community Connect Day will be held from 12 p.m. until 3 p.m. at the Summerville Train Depot and is being hosted by the City of Summerville and the Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce.

According to the event description, Summerville Main Street is joining with the Chamber for the event, which will feature food, vendors, and a variety of community groups welcoming local residents, visitors, and tourists arriving on the Tennessee Valley Railroad Steam Engine Passenger Train.
