Downtown Bluffton Christmas scene 1950
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
Christmas in downtown Bluffton in 1950. There's Santa with a Santa Halloween mask. Our guess is that Bob Crow and Paul Steiner on working the PA system.
We don't know the identity of Santa, but we are going to make a stab on the ID of the kids on the platform. On the far left, it looks like Dan Lehman, then Francis Harkness, Judy Harness and Donna McClure. That's as far as we can go.
This scene must have been from a Bluffton Business Men's holiday promotion.
The Presbyterian Church manse is behind the setting. It's park of the church lawn today.
