Just when you thought nothing is going on in this small town, think again.
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce has compiled a list of several Bluffton fall events. And, this is by no means the complete list.
Some of these are chamber sponsored, other chamber supported, while others are for information purposes. Watch the Icon for more details on all these events, and in the meantime, add the ones of interest to your calendar.
