Tommy Tire is sponsoring a free showing of "Night At The Museum; Secret of the Tomb" at 10 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 20 at the Shannon Theatre. All are welcome, but seating is limited so it's first come first serve. Small popcorn and drink will be provided as well.
Santa Claus is coming to town this Saturday, thanks to the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
