What we'd like to see in Bluffton in 2010

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 31, 2009 - 5:02pm

It's crazy, but for the past several years we've been able to name the year by simply stating "07," or "08," or "09." Not no more. "0 10"? It's simply "10," and it is bound to cause confusion.

Perhaps that's why "10" is going to be such a confused year in our prediction. There are several things we'd like to see in "10." There we said it again, and still comes out confusing.

Anyway, we'd like to see the following in "10" but don't bet on it.

1 - A return of the College-Main stop light.

2 - Mayor's court remain in Bluffton.

Amy and Rory Youngpeter

You grew up in CG, right? Or technically, you were a "country kid". Did you always live on the family farm where your parents live now?

Technically, I am from just outside of Rimer. My parents live on the family farm that has been passed down for generations since the 1870~Ac^a'not^a"cs. For a short time we moved to ~Ac^a'notA"town~Ac^a'not^A

ACT NOW - THE PLAYING CARDS MAY BE HISTORY ON JAN. 1

If you've not yet purchased a Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce playing card desk, act now or forever hold your peace.

The popular holiday item at only $5 a deck may disappear quicker than you can say 2010. The deck was the brainchild of Melinda Bowden of PromoHits! The Main Street company sold 52 businesses their own "card." Then, when the decks were printed, PromoHits! donated over 300 sets to the chamber as a fund raiser.
