A friend in Bluffton just told me about your online news site. I very much enjoyed taking a look around Bluffton Icon and catching up on the goings on about town.
My name is Waylon. I am 9 years old. What I would like is...Outdoor Adventures for Playstation 2, Big Buck Hunger Pro TV plug 'n play game, collectable vehicles, Legends of the Fall Lamb, cap hand gun, Duck Hunter, Monte Carlo toy shotgun, Ford vs. Chevy Cyclone Canyon, Shelby racing team, Foam Strike Camo slingshot. How are you doing up there? How is Rudolph the red nose raindeer doing?
