Doug Smith of Bluffton did some quick shopping on April 4 that didn't cost anything - except for the price of a raffle ticket.
Smith won the recent Bluffton Lions Club "shopping spree" at Bluffton's Community Market. The raffle raises funds for the Lions scholarship program.
The Bluffton Lions Scholarship committee is happy with the results of the tickets being purchased for the shopping spree, along with donations that have come in for the scholarship program.
