The big "cherry picker" lifts at Bluffton Schools have been a reminder of the maintenance and deep cleaning done during the summer. Outside tuck pointing, painting and window sealing work are being done.
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce coordinates fireworks after National Night Out at the Bluffton Community Pool. The Icon recorded the attached "double take" of the grand finale with reflection in Buckeye Lake. YouTube video HERE.
The fireworks were made possible by the generosity of the following sponsors:

The Everly Brothers released their hit single “All I Have to Do Is Dream” in 1958. This followed their 1957 hit “Wake Up Little Susie.” The songs were written by the prolific duo of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. The legendary Chet Atkins played the guitar for The Everly Brothers on both singles. The Everly Brothers were known as an American rock duo and as pioneers of country rock.
As you might expect, Bluffton's National Night Out 2022 began with a big splash and ended with an even bigger bang on August 2.
The Bluffton and Pandora police departments--with the help of area fire departments, EMS, highway patrol and park rangers--put on the annual community celebration for area families that begins with free admission to Bluffton Community Pool and ends with fireworks sponsored by Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce donors. (YouTube video of finale HERE.)
