"Look through your wardrobe and find some period pieces or perhaps you can sew or rent a costume. Any era will do from the 186's through 2000.,"said Beverly Amstutz of the planning committee.
There will be an 1860 instrumental group, beautiful decorations, and dancing. Also refreshments and all for $10 per person.
"Ask your friends and relatives to attend this fabulous representation of an era from our past," she said.
Isn't this one of the most refreshing photos of Bluffton after a long winter? Yellow crocuses begin their push through lawns all over town. Purple ones are certainly on their way soon.
