Bluffton's Fall Festival - nothing quite like it!
It was a day to visit the past...to have lots of fun, run a 5K, stop at a Home Expo, paint a pumpkin, watch a drama, visit a quilt show, do some shopping downtown, buy a pumpkin pie at auction, and get your face painted.
LOTS OF PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AT BOTTOM OF STORY -
