New Ideas for a New Carolina

What's the Tour de Bulb?

The "Tour de Bulb", is a four-city tour of South Carolina in which last year's winners will pass the torch of creativity and business innovation to other South Carolina citizens. Local celebrities, business leaders, politicians and 2007 winners will carry the "light bulb torch" and be transported by an official Plug-In Hybrid vehicle through the main city streets of Greenville, Columbia, Florence and Charleston.

The tour kicks off in Greenville South Carolina.
