It must belong to Karim Awad

It belongs to Karim Award

We spied this plate in front of the Award residence on Dec. 26. Knowing that Karim lives in Connecticut, we naturally figured it's his. To get the full impact of this plate, read the "61 minutes with Ben Luginbuhl."

Bluffton card decks: this year's hottest item almost sold out

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 23, 2009 - 6:44pm

"Two cards, please dealer."

The hottest Christmas item in Bluffton this year is selling so quickly that less than 40 remain for sale.

The item: Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce card decks. The 52-piece ensemble sells for only $5. They are available while supplies last...and we emphasis "while they last."

The card decks were the idea of Melinda Bowden of PromoHits! That Main Street business sold sponsorships to Bluffton businesses to be on the cards. PromoHits! had the card decks printed and gave about 350 sets to the chamber as a fund raiser.
