Football season is nearly here, and the Laurens County Touchdown Club is ready to get things started.

The club will open its 2026 season Thursday, Aug. 20, at noon at The Ridge of Laurens, with the head coaches from Laurens County high schools serving as the first speakers of the year. The meeting sets the tone for a season the club will spend recognizing local teams and schools.

The Laurens County Touchdown Club, a project of the Laurens County Chamber of Commerce, was organized to promote a spirit of cooperation and association among citizens of Laurens County through a common interest in football. Meetings are held on Thursdays at noon at The Ridge of Laurens.
