Newberry County was proud to partner with the City of Newberry, Newberry College, our four Korean businesses (Kiswire, Samsung, KRA and Daeyoung) and multiple sponsors to host the third Annual Korean American Day Celebration!
This cultural event recognizes Korean businesses that have made major investments in Newberry County; in fact, Newberry County has the most Korean manufactures in all of South Carolina!
We hope this will be an event that continues in Newberry County for years to come!
