The details of these locations are as follows:
- Nose Dive restaurant at 116 S. Main Street, Greenville, S.C., on Dec. 24 from 1:30 to 4:30 pm
- Best Buy at 1125 Woodruff Road, Suite 1201, Greenville, S.C, on Dec. 24 from 3 to 6 p.m.
- The Spartanburg Library at 151 S. Church Street, Spartanburg, S.C., for the Solar Superstorms planetarium show on Dec. 27 from 3:15 to 6:30 p.m.
