"Welcome to Bluffton. You'll find Bluffton offers many features of larger communities, but hasn't lost its small-town charm."
With that statement, Bluffton welcomes visitors to our community through the first-ever Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce visitors' guide.
Major distribution of the guides takes place this week. The guide, which is free, has been a project of the chamber for over one year. The guide is designed to cover the years 2011 and 2012. Twenty-five thousand copies were printed.
