Bluffton council was updated on several village issues during its May 5 council meeting. One of those items is a report that the village will become part of the Charter Communications cable system.
Here is a portion of the report given council from Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator:
There will be ponies on Main Street - and if you are young enough, you may ride one on Saturday. The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce arts and crafts festival takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Here's a scene from last year.
Training programs for those beginning to run and for those who want to increase speed are being offered by BFR Sports & Fitness, according to Carole Enneking of BFR.
