Morgan Campbell, a Bluffton University senior and food and nutrition major from Hillsboro, has four brothers.
She knows first-hand just how much they eat and just how picky they can be about what they eat.
So when choosing a semester-long topic to develop for the class Nutrition Education and Communication, the choice was simple. Campbell answered the question “Can family meals provide the best of both worlds: low cost and healthy?” The answer she discovered - yes!
Fifty years ago Dick Boehr, Gene Benroth and some other downtown merchants had a crazy idea: Let's have an old car. It might bring people to Bluffton.
Fifty years later it continues to take place and continues to bring people to Bluffton.
And, not surprisingly, 50 years later, the cars that are classic today were new in 1967. Who would have thought!
You can except nearly 200 vehicles that grew up on leaded gas to return to Bluffton on Friday, for the 50th Bluffton Festival of Wheels cruise-in, sponsored by the Bluffton Lions.
Friday is the 50th anniversary of Bluffton's first-ever antique car show. Here's a pristine 50-year-old classic Bluffton vehicle. Purchased from Clark's Buick, it's a 1967 Buick Grand Sport 400 convertible. The owner is Donna Morrison and she is the original owner. In mint condition, it has approximately 65,000 miles on it. Donna's husband, Denny, is the Wheels' show director.
