In September 1988, the Swedish rock duo Roxette released their second album Look Sharp! which contained the single “Listen to Your Heart.” The song hit number 1 in the United States and Canada. The duo of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle are the second most successful Swedish band after ABBA.
Bluffton's recipe for a great National Night Out includes perfect pool weather, a DJ pumping out the tunes, plenty of games and activities, fireworks and lots and lots of hot dogs grilled by Bluffton Council members. Oh, and all of the above is provided as a free family night out thanks to the organizing efforts of the Bluffton Police Department.
On August 4, the Bluffton Community Pool was the scene for this big party, which has grown in popularity throughout the last 12 years.
August 8 Bluffton History Day activities include a scavenger hunt with 12 details from historic downtown buildings (Hint: look up!) First, second, and third place prizes will go to the first people to complete the scavenger hunt, with Langan Family Finds providing the prizes.
The prizes are a trophy, a gift card and a coupon for Langan Family Finds.
All who complete the hunt get a coupon for $1 off a boba drink at Langan Family Finds, 107 Vine St.
Even a quick conversation with Jana Hughes, the granddaughter of Charles (Charley) Hankish, gives a taste of memories that linger from Hankish Confectionary, a Bluffton business from 1906-1956. Hughes was born after the store closed but provides tantalizing glimpses of Charley's gift for candy and business.
