Nationwide -- SC State University Head Football Coach Oliver “Buddy” Pough hosted a Tailgate Tour of South Carolina state parks in mid-October to launch a marketing initiative designed to draw more African Americans to the great outdoors. The collaboration between the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism and the marketing company Black Folks Camp Too, will share resources to speak specifically to this audience about enjoying state parks.
“I’ve done a lot of things in my life, but I’ve never been camping,” said Coach Pough. “My time at Table Rock State Park with Black Folks Camp Too was wonderful and I’m looking forward to a few nights RVing here in Sesqui. I’m proud to support Earl and his mission to start more conversations around the campfire.”
Pough went camping for the first time at a state park, hosted campfire conversations, did some fishing, hiking, bike riding, and paddle boating at Table Rock and Sesquicentennial state parks.
