On International Women's Day

It's worth noting who is running the store on Bluffton's Main Street
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 8, 2021 - 3:03pm

You’d never know it, but once upon a time it was called the Bluffton Business Men’s Association.

The title changed over the years and today, it’s not your grandfather, dad, brother or uncle running the downtown store. It’s your grandmother, mother, sister or aunt.

The Icon recognizes International Women’s Day, today, March 8, and the leadership roles of women in Bluffton, on Main Street and in other communty leadership roles.
