4 p.m. Ice Creations exhibition

By Fred Steiner

It all starts at 4 p.m. on Saturday in downtown Bluffton.

It's the 25th annual Bluffton Blaze of Lights. This year's Blaze continues a tradition launched in 1986 when the Harry and Dorothy Ream outdoor Christmas folk art display moved from rural Jenera to Bluffton.

My grandmother always made this recipe around Christmas time. The recipe has been passed down thru a few generations, and my daughter just surprised me with a batch this past Saturday at her home for Thanksgiving. So Christmas came early this year!
