X marks the spot

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 26, 2013 - 5:12pm

Will your lawn be decorated for the holidays? If so, make certain that it is marked on the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce holiday light map. The map will be posted on the chamber website so that out-of-town visitors to Bluffton know where to go to see the community's lights. Maps will also be available free at the red mailbox on the Presbyterian Church lawn and in several businesses. To place your display on this year's map e-mail your address to: [email protected] and request to be on the mail.

One of Bluffton's many barbers, here's Dick Smith cutting BHS student James Swank. This is an advertisement in the 1959 Bluffton High School yearbook. Today this is Stoney's Barbershop, below Bluffton Karate Center.

We really like the cash register. 

Icon view comments are welcome.

(Thanks for the correction, Sam. Ray Johnson was my barber. I never went to Smitties.)
