Posted by Fred Steiner on December 31, 2019 - 3:22pm

Hey, '19, "no, we can't dance together." That's because it's now 20-20. Only Steely Dan fans will get the entire meaning of this. Everyone else will think we're crazy, but we're just growing old. Any way you say it, it's "Good bye hey '19 and hello to the Roaring '20s."

There's no ball that drops in Bluffton on New Year's Eve. The closest we come is to keep an eye on any of the four faces of the town hall clock as the 12th hour of Dec. 31 strikes. You may also expect to hear the sound of several firecracker-type explosions heard across the community at that hour.
