White wall tires as wide as a man's tie...8-V engines...art deco hood ornaments. Oh, and names that no longer are in the contemporary vehicle vernacular. Names like Plymouth, Edsel, Model T, Kaiser, Hudson, Studenbaker.
All this comes to Main Street Bluffton on Friday. It's the Bluffton Lions present the 45th Bluffton Festival of Wheels Cruise-In..
The event takes place in downtown Bluffton from 2 to 8 p.m. Jeff Houston, 1950s DJ will play music from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Bluffton Public Library will be closed from Monday, July 2, to Saturday, July 7, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. The bookdrop will also remain closed during that week.
Both the library and the bookdrop will reopen to the public at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, July 9. Due to state funding cuts that exceed $75,000 per year, the library's board of trustees has approved closing additional days around the holidays to reduce expenses and to avoid reducing regular hours during the year.
Stratton Greenhouses, 9915, Lincoln Highway, Bluffton is in the midst of a "BOGO sale."
That means that when you buy one (wave petunias, iron grower basket, or hydrangeas) you get one free at the Greenhouse.
That also means when you buy one (wave petunias, quart perennials, or 5-inch specialty plants) uptown Bluffton - corner of College and Triplett Drive, you get one free.
You've heard of "shaggy dog stories." This is a "Ropp Triplett story."
It turns out that Ropp Triplett is campaigning - not running for public office - simply campaigning.
To his way of thinking Bluffton doesn't have a "downtown," it has an "uptown." His initial campaign speech on the merits of an uptown versus a downtown were given at the June 8 chamber breakfast.
After the rousing applause he received, it appears that popular sentiment is now in his camp.
