The Bluffton and Pandora Police Departments would like to thank all of those that came out and supported our National Night Out event on Tuesday, August 5th.  It was a fun night for all involved and a pleasure spending the evening with people from the local communities. 

We would also like to thank all of the businesses and other groups that supported the event through monetary, food donation, and volunteer help.  Without your assistance none of this would have been possible and we would like to acknowledge each of you that helped. 

Connor Dawson is part of the busy staff of managers and lifeguards at the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool. Stay tuned to the Icon for daily photos of staff members.
