Ray Varner Ford celebrated its 10th anniversary this past week. Varner had been in the automobile business in Anderson County for 24 years before opening Ray Varner Ford in Clinton 10 years ago. Known for his many contributions to community events and programs, Varner said the COVID-19 pandemic has “slowed down his giving back to the community a bit.” He said that he has a “great team” at Ray Varner Ford, which has led to the dealership winning Ford’s President’s Award in 2017 and 2019. “We’re proud of our accomplishments,” Varner said. “We have a great team here.”
