Meet Madison Beasley. She won four Shannon Theatre tickets from the Bluffton Icon during the Southgate Lanes 1-K on Saturday.

The Icon promised the tickets to the last-place finisher in the event. Madison was a walker and runner, and just happened to cross the finish line at the end of the race.

A friendly chat with Della Salter, MMH villa resident

Talking with Della Salter is like getting a card from an old friend, or eating an ice cream sundae.  It just makes you feel good!

If there is a word to describe this Mennonite Memorial Home villa resident, it’s “positive.” 

“I’m positive because I’ve had a very positive life,” she emphasized.  Salter has lived in her two-bedroom villa on Pinebrook Drive, Bluffton, for more than 30 years.  She was the second person to move in after her villa was built. 

The first-ever Southgate Lanes 1K is history. Nearly 100 runners hit the pavement from Parkview to Southgates Lanes on Saturday.

Here's a sampling of the event from Jamie Nygaard.
