Posted by Fred Steiner on January 18, 2010 - 4:37pm

Bluffton card decks are becoming as scarce as (you may fill in the blank). The holiday fund-raiser by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce saw nearly 300 card decks sold in one month.

A very limited supply of decks remains in some Bluffton stores. Those cards will not be reprinted, so persons interested in a pack or two should buy them now.

Each deck offered 52 cards and each card is sponsored by a Bluffton business. The decks sell for $5 each. PromoHits! created the decks and gave them to the chamber as a fund raiser.
