Travelers Rest Area Business Association

Award sponsored by the Bank of Travelers Rest

Our “Citizen of the Year,” Mr. Clyde Carr, has been described as “A hard working man of astute character who maintains a consistent example in his daily walk and is always willing to help others with a pleasant character and self-less giving way”.

He has been active in the Travelers Rest and surrounding area for as long as most of us can remember as a business owner, through his involvement with his church, as a community leader and as a supporter of local charities. 

He has served on the board of the YMCA for Northern Greenville County and currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the North Greenville Food Crisis Ministry.
