America is a Hankish ice cream cone
"American is a Hankish Ice Cream Cone." To an eariler Bluffton generation, that statement rings true. The Icon discovered this photo in its archives. Our best guess is that it's a 1976 bicentennial parade.
Perhaps it was photographed from the town hall looking across at what is now Smith's Realty.
Any ideas on the ID of the driver of the float, or any of the kids on the curb are welcome. If the photo was taken in 1976, some of the youth might be in their 40s.
