Blufftonites certainly have memories of getting their license plates locally. For the evening's program, we will hear an interesting story from the Gromans about their father maintaining his same plate number year after year. Those very plates will be on display. We will also hear a history of license plate distribution here in Bluffton. There was a sequence involved in this distribution madness, and an explanation of it will also be given.
