Just when we think we are turning the corner on COVID-19, despite its numerous variants, another infection is causing headlines. Monkeypox … what is it? Where did it come from? How does it spread? Do I need to be worried?

Last Saturday, June 4, was high time for a Bluffton Arts & Craft Show. After two gap years, the event returned in a new location and with a new host: Blended Roots at 246 Cherry St. and the neighboring grassy area along Little Riley Creek.

Foodie Tuesday are back at The Centre at Bluffton beginning on June 14. 

Numerous food trucks will be available at The Centre, 601 N. Main St. The event lasts from 4:00-7:30 p.m. and will repeat on the second Tuesday of the month in July and August.
