Visitors to the 2025 Bluffton Festival of Wheels walked between a scattering of raindrops until about 6:30 p.m. when Bluffton Lions organizers decided to present awards a little early.

The event provided a wide array of vehicles including cars, trucks and tractors of all vintages. There was also food and music--both vintage tunes from a DJ and a live performance by Mariachi Garibaldi at Campito Lindo.

FROM WWW.BLUFFTON.EDU__Bluffton University is proud to introduce Dr. J. Alexander Sider as its interim president—a familiar and trusted face who has been shaping the Bluffton experience since 2006.

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common health concern that significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions. While medication is often necessary for managing hypertension, many natural and lifestyle-based strategies can help lower blood pressure effectively. Implementing healthier habits can lead to long-term improvements in cardiovascular health and overall well-being.

Adopting a heart-healthy diet is one of the most impactful ways to lower blood pressure. Reducing sodium intake is essential, as excessive salt consumption causes the body to retain water, increasing blood volume and pressure. Instead of processed foods, which tend to be high in sodium, opting for fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins can make a significant difference.
